Gardai in Cork are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a teenager after he collided with a micro-light aircraft in Fermoy.
The collision occurred at about 8pm last night at Macroney.
The 17-year-old collided with the aircraft which was on the ground at the time.
It is thought that he may have been struck by a propeller while he carried out maintenance on the plane.
A post mortem is due to take place later today at University College Hospital in Cork.
