The boy, who has been named as Hugh McDonald from Innishmore Park in Coalisland, was riding a bike on the Mullanahoe Road, Ardboe, when he was struck by a Toyota car on Monday April 1.
His death brings to five the number of people killed in road accidents in Northern Ireland over the Easter weekend.
On Monday, a motorcyclist and a pedestrian were killed on the Kilrea Road in Clady outside Magherafelt in County Londonderry. It is understood the motorcyclist was 30, while the pedestrian was in his 60s. Their names have not yet been released.
In County Down, Tony Crane, 19, and Patrick Rogan, 16, died when the car they were in crashed on the Ardglass Road in Downpatrick on Friday night.
Both teenagers were from Killough. The car clipped a verge on the wrong side of the road, and then went into a wall, before rolling onto its roof.
The Easter weekend deaths bring to 36 the number of people killed on the roads so far this year. Last year a total of 148 people lost their lives on the province’s roads. (AMcE)
