An nine-year-old boy has died in a crash on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula on Thursday afternoon.

Police were called to the scene at Port Kenny Road, Port Kenny, about 4:00pm on Thursday after reports of a single vehicle roll over.

The boy, from Findon in Adelaide, was sitting in the rear of the Toyota RAV4, and died at the scene.

A 16-year-old boy also seated in the rear sustained minor injuries and was taken to the Streaky Bay Hospital.

The driver, a 46-year-old woman, and the front seat passenger, a 48-year-old man, both from Findon, received minor injuries.

Pygery-Port Kenny Road was closed between Mount Damper Road and Poochera-Port Kenny Road while Major Crash Investigators examined the scene.

The road has since reopened.

The boy's death is the 56th life lost on SA roads compared with 50 at the same time last year.
