Four sunflowers have been laid on a fence post beside a rural road in Cooran in a tribute to a teenager killed in an accident on Saturday night.

The 17-year-old boy was unable to be saved despite the best efforts of first responders including paramedics at Greenridge Pinbarren Road.

It is understood the boy had been riding a Suzuki motorbike which collided with a Subaru Forrester station wagon heading in the opposite direction about 9pm.
