Police believe a 14-year-old boy killed in a road crash was driving at the time.
The teen was with a 15-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy on a gravel road in Turangi when their four-wheel-drive vehicle rolled yesterday.
Emergency services were alerted to the crash, which was off Kepa Rd, just before 12.30pm.
Police said in a statement today all three teens were out of the vehicle when emergency staff arrived.
It is understood the 14-year-old was driving the vehicle when it rolled, however enquiries were ongoing to confirm this, and to establish the exact circumstances that led to the crash, police said.
