Two motorbike riders, including a 14-year-old boy, were riding along a road in southern NSW when they crashed, resulting in the death of one.

There was a crash between two motorbikes on Araluen Road, about 25 km south of Braidwood, before 9 am on Wednesday (17 December), a NSW Police spokesperson said.

One rider, a 25-year-old man, died before emergency services arrived.

The 14-year-old male rider of the second bike was taken to Bungendore Hospital before he was airlifted to Canberra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
