The red Honda quad he was riding was the only vehicle involved in the crash on Ballygudden Road.

Inspector Cherith Adair, from the PSNI’s collision investigation unit, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family at this incredibly sad time, Isaac was just 14 years old.

Ms Adair said officers were conducting a “meticulous investigation” to establish the circumstances of the crash and she asked anyone who saw a red Honda quad on the Ballygudden Road shortly before 11.30am on Tuesday, or who witnessed the collision to come forward.
