Police revealed that the teenager had been riding on an uneven piece of land when the bike rolled backwards and fell on top of him. Firefighters pulled him free of the wreck before medics tried to revive him, but their efforts proved in vain and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

An officer based at Grandola near Troia said: “I know the dead man was the son of a well-known footballer but I don’t have details about who it was.

“The accident happened at the family home. The quad rider wasn’t on a public road and his was the only vehicle involved. The quad was on an uneven piece of land and at this stage it appears to have gone backwards and as it did fell on top of the victim and crushed him.”
