A teenager riding an e-bike in Salford has died in a collision with an ambulance shortly after being followed by police.
Greater Manchester Police said traffic officers began following the 15-year-old boy on an e-bike along Fitzwarren Street in Salford at roughly 2pm on Thursday.
The force said the boy went into Lower Seedley Road and bollards prevented the police vehicle from continuing to follow him.
The boy was then involved in a collision with an ambulance in Langworth Road “a short time later” in which he was killed.
A GMP statement said: “In line with normal proceedings, the incident has been referred to IOPC who are now leading the investigation.
“A cordon remains in place on Langworthy Road.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the boy who tragically died.”
