A teenager riding an e-bike has died in collision with an ambulance after being pursued by police
Police said traffic officers began following a 15-year-old boy on an e-bike along Fitzwarren Street in Salford, Greater Manchester, at around 2pm on Thursday.
The teenage boy went into Lower Seedley Road, with bollards meaning officers were unable to carry on following him. The boy was then killed in a collision with an ambulance in Langworth Road not long after, Greater Manchester Police said. Officers added in a statement: "In line with normal proceedings, the incident has been referred to IOPC who are now leading the investigation."Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the boy who tragically died."
Local media reported that the ambulance was parked. Police did not say why they were following the boy.
