Tributes have flooded in for a Scots teenager who died after being crushed by a quad bike while on holiday on a Greek island.

The teen, named locally as Ryan Bennet, was involved in the horror crash on early Friday morning in Zakynthos.

It is understood the quad veered off a path and overturned, killing Ryan. A 19-year-old passenger also suffered minor injuries in the accident.

According to local news site ERT Zakynthos, both teenagers were wearing helmets and were travelling at a slow speed before the bike overturned.

Tributes have now poured in for Ryan, from Alexandria, as loved ones took to social media to pay their respects.

Ryan's auntie said: "My gorgeous nephew. Love u loads. Taken far too soon."

A cousin wrote: "Absolutely heartbroken. My gorgeous cousin taken far too soon. I love you so much."

His grandmother added: "Our hearts are broken, our darling grandson, sleep tight Nana xx."

An investigation by the Police Department of Alykon of Zakynthos is ongoing with a postmortem due to take place.

A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”
