Two people have been arrested after a 13-year-old boy died following a car crash in Grimsby.

Reports describing a collision between a white Seat Ibiza and child riding a scooter across the road were called in to police on Tuesday at 6pm.

Emergency services attended the scene on Fairmont Road and the boy was taken to hospital, but the teenager died on Friday evening, Humberside Police said.

Now an 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

A 41-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, police said.

The force said inquiries were ongoing to establish the full circumstances around the collision.

Officers are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has any information, including relevant CCTV or dashcam footage, to come forward.
