CO MAYO, Ireland - A 13-year-old boy who crashed a tractor he was driving has died in hospital.
The single-vehicle collision occurred in County Mayo on Saturday night.
Shortly after 8:15pm Saturday, Garda and emergency services were alerted that a tractor had overturned on a local road (L1610) at Scarduane near Claremorris.
