A 15-year-old boy on an electric bike has died after colliding with a parked ambulance after being chased by police.
An extensive rescue operation was launched after the incident.
Police officers and paramedics were photographed along Langworthy Road on Thursday afternoon (June 8) following the fatal incident.

“In accordance with normal procedure, the incident has been referred to the IOPC, which is 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 passed away.”
