The teenage daughter of financier Ben Goldsmith has been killed in an accident on the family's Somerset farm.

Iris Goldsmith, 15, died suddenly on Monday (July 8) afternoon after reportedly becoming trapped when her vehicle, which is said to be similar to a quad bike, overturned.

An air ambulance was sent to the scene near the village of North Brewham after emergency services were called at around 3.15pm.

Police said Iris's death is not being treated as suspicious and officers are carrying out inquiries on behalf of the coroner.
