The teenager was rushed to hospital after emergency services attended the scene in Langworthy Road, Salford, this afternoon, but died a short time later. Traffic officers began following the boy at around 2pm along Fitzwarren Street onto Lower Seedley Road, police said.

But they were prevented from following him further by a series of bollards. A collision occurred between the e-bike and the ambulance ‘a short time later’. The boy was taken to hospital but passed away.
