A 17-year-old teenager has suffered a harrowing fate in a crash at Muswellbrook. The fatal crash has reportedly claimed the life of the teenage boy, and his female companion, with serious injuries, is being given prompt medical attention. This horrific incident took place after the teenage boy seemingly lost control of his Yamaha dirt bike near the Thompson St intersection. 

Reports suggest that the model of the bike was YZ250. After clashing with a median-strip guard rail, it tumbled over badly. This sudden stop in motion caused both the passengers of the bike to be flung away in the air and then onto the road, which ultimately proved to be fatal.

As soon as the crash happened, help arrived in the form of the Hunter Valley District Police. They arrived at the scene at around 5 pm and further called the NSW paramedics to initiate medical attention on the duo. With immediate assistance, the 17-year-old was transported to the Muswellbrook Hospital, where the doctors tried their best to treat the teenager. Unfortunately, the wounds suffered by the 17-year-old proved to be too much, and he ultimately succumbed.

His 22-year-old female compatriot, however, was a bit lucky. She did have brutal injuries but is alive, as per the latest reports. The female survivor was initially taken to the Muswellbrook Hospital but later was transferred to the John Hunter Hospital to undergo surgery. She was reportedly in a stable situation with close monitoring by the medical team. 

Luckily, a truck driver happened to be passing by when this heart-wrenching incident occurred. Thanks to him, the duo could receive medical care, and one of them went on to survive.
