A 15-year-old boy who was riding an e-bike has died after being followed by police in Salford.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers were following the boy at around 2pm today, June 8, along Fitzwarren Street and onto Lower Seedley Road in Salford.
Bollards prevented the police vehicle from continuing to follow the e-bike.
Shortly after, the e-bike collided with an ambulance on Langworthy Road and the 15-year-old died.
A GMP spokesperson said: "In line with normal proceedings, the incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, 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."
