Emergency services were called to Riddoch Highway, five kilometres south of Nagwarry, at 2:40 pm on Sunday after reports of a three-car crash.

A five-year-old boy who was a passenger in the middle of the three cars died at the scene, and a 15-year-old girl in the same car was taken to hospital with critical injuries. She died in hospital on Monday night.

The crash was sparked after a Holden sedan hit an emu, causing the Toyota station wagon carrying the two children to brake. A Nissan ute crashed into the rear of the Toyota.
