A Co Antrim community has been rocked after a nine-year-old boy died and another teenager was left in a critical condition in hospital following a crash involving scrambler motorbikes in Ballymena.
The head-on collision happened in the Dunvale area of the town's Dunclug estate shortly before 5pm on Thursday afternoon.
Both children, who were riding separate bikes, were taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, one by air ambulance, after the crash but the nine-year-old died in the early hours of Friday.
