Emilio Ballack son of former German and Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack sadly lost his life while on holidays in Portugal in a quad accident during the week and more details have emerged from the tragic incident.
An officer based at Grandola near Troia said via The Mirror: “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.”
That is an awful story and we send our best wishes to Michael Ballack and his family.
