A 14-year-old boy has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a youngster died following a crash between the e-scooter they were riding and a car.

The incident happened in Wythenshawe last March, Greater Manchester Police said.

He has also been charged with causing death by driving unlicensed and causing death by driving uninsured. The boy cannot be named for legal reasons.

The boy has been released on bail to next appear at Manchester Youth Court on 24 February.

Jacob Calland, also 14 and a passenger on the e-scooter, later died from the injuries he suffered in the collision on Southmoor Road.
