A 17-year-old boy has died after an allegedly stolen car driven by a 14-year-old crashed during a police pursuit in the NSW Hunter Valley.

A police highway patrol first attempted to stop the car travelling on the New England Highway at Aberdeen late last night after the car was seen travelling at a high speed.

The vehicle is alleged to have been stolen from a business in Wallsend just outside of Newcastle late yesterday afternoon.

The driver allegedly failed to stop when directed, leading to a pursuit which continued until the car crashed near Makybe Diva Street in Scone.

The 14-year-old driver and 17-year-old passenger in the front seat were trapped and released by paramedics.

The 17-year-old boy died at the scene.

The driver was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, where he and three back seat passengers – two 14-year-old boys and a 25-year-old woman – are being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
