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.
The 13-year-old boy, the driver of the tractor, was treated at the scene for serious injuries before being rushed to Galway University Hospital. He has since been identified as a local boy, Kyle Pilbrow.
Kyle was subsequently transferred to Temple Street Hospital, in Dublin where he died on Sunday.
A technical examination of the scene was conducted by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators before the road at the crash site fully reopened to traffic.
