The victim, named as Robert Corry, was on a mini-motorcycle which was in collision with a four-wheel drive vehicle near the Castlederg Road in Ederney at around 5.30pm.
Pupils at St Mary's College in Irvinestown where Robert went to school are said to be "devastated" by the news.
School principal Eugene McCullough said: "We are absolutely devastated. I opened the school last night and we were inundated with pupils just wanting to come together and support each other.”
A seven-year-old who was on the back of the motorcycle when the accident occurred escaped injury in the accident.
Thursday’s accident brings the total number of people killed on Northern Ireland's roads this year to 34.
