He was still alive when he was pulled from under the vehicle at around 12.30pm on Saturday in Kerrykeel.

"The boy was freed then removed to Letterkenny Hospital where he died a short while later," said a Garda spokesman.

The area has been sealed off as the Health and Safety Authority investigate the incident.
