A teenage boy has died in hospital after being involved in a quad bike accident in Laois.
A second teenager is in hospital where he's being treated for the injuries he suffered.
At around half one yesterday afternoon, two teenage boys were involved in this incident in a wooded area near Ballyshanduff, Ballybrittas.
The pair were on board a quad bike at the time, and both were brought to hospitals in the midlands following the accident.
One was brought to Portlaoise where he has since passed away, while the second boy involved is in Tullamore with non-life threatening injuries.
Gardaí have launched an investigation and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
