A British father has been killed in a quad bike crash in Corfu that also left his teenage son injured.
The tourist, 40, was killed following a reported road accident on the island at 1.30pm local time today. His 14-year-old son was rushed to hospital.
While the man is understood to have also been rushed to Corfu General Hospital, he sadly died despite efforts from medical staff to revive him.
The crash reportedly happened in the Almyros area on the north of the island. Local media reported that the British father veered off a road and fell into a drainage ditch.
An ambulance was called and first aid was administered before the father-son duo were transferred to hospital.
Firefighters also scrambled to the scene to free the driver and his son from the wreck.
Investigators are still looking into the incident.

Craig Bloomer, 54, who ran a café in Wolverhampton, died after he lost control of the moped he was riding and crashed near the village of Agios Mattheos in Corfu.
The dad was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead by doctors.
His grieving daughter Rebecca, 32, also from Wolverhampton, said at the time: ‘Our dad’s loss has left a massive hole in our lives.’
She added: ‘We lost our mum two years ago to cancer. Since then, he has been a bit down in the dumps.
‘On holiday, it was the happiest I’d ever seen him, he had a new girlfriend.
‘He was lovely and a proper family man.’
He was known to love motorbikes, old cars, going to the pub, snooker, and was ‘really good’ at art.
The sudden death came after he lost his wife Jane, 53, to cancer.
The grandfather had been staying on the island with his two daughters, their partners and their children.
