A 15-year-old boy has died after he was thrown from the tray of a utility that rolled in Deptford, near Bairnsdale, on Friday night.

It is believed six people were in the ute collecting firewood when the driver lost control of the vehicle on a steep hill on Mt Sugarloaf-Deptford Road around 7pm (AEDT).

Three male passengers in the tray were thrown from the ute and the teenager, from Cranbourne in Melbourne's east, died instantly.

The two other males were taken to Bairnsdale Hospital, with one of them later airlifted to the Royal Children's Hospital with serious injuries.

The three people in the ute's cabin, two males and a female, were treated by paramedics.
