GREATER Manchester Police officers behaved appropriately when they followed a 15-year-old boy on an electric motorcycle who then fatally collided with an ambulance, the police watchdog has found.

Police not to blame for boy's death on electric bike

Saul Cookson was riding a Sur-Ron bike in Salford at around 2pm on June 8, 2023, when two officers began tailing him in a marked police car.

Just 24 seconds after they began to follow him, Saul drove through a set of bollards through which the police BMW X5 could not follow.

After passing the bollards on to Langworthy Road, he collided with an ambulance and later died of his injuries at Salford Royal Hospital.
