Boy, 14, suspected driver in 4WD crash which injured four at Booral near Newcastle A 14-YEAR-OLD boy is believed to have been behind the wheel when a 4WD lost control and flipped on its side this morning on a property north-west of Newcastle. Four children aged 11-14 were rushed to John Hunter Hospital after the accident on a private property off Booral Rd, Booral, just before 8am. A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said a 12-year-old girl suffered facial injuries, the 14-year-old boy suffered a broken collarbone, an 11-year-old boy suffered chest injuries and a 13-year-old girl escaped unhurt. All four were taken by road to hospital in a stable condition. Police are investigating how the accident occurred. Children must be at least 16 years old before they can get their L-plates to drive on NSW roads but a NSW Police spokesman said the same rules did not apply to private properties, where it was up to a parent's discretion.
