Teenager Dies in Northumberland E-Bike Crash, Second Such Fatality in Days
Bedlington, Northumberland – A 19-year-old male has tragically died following an e-bike crash in Bedlington, Northumberland, marking the second such teenage fatality in the North of England within days. Police have launched an urgent investigation into the incident, which occurred yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to Moorland Avenue at approximately 3 PM yesterday following reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a black and red Talaria electric motorcycle. The unnamed teenager died shortly after emergency crews arrived at the scene.
Northumbria Police confirmed the fatality and expressed their deepest sympathies. A spokesperson for the force, Christopher Herron, stated, "This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the young man who has sadly passed away".
The teenager's death follows closely on the heels of another tragic incident in Middleton, Greater Manchester, where 15-year-old Devon Simmonds lost his life in a similar e-bike collision just days prior. These consecutive incidents are likely to intensify calls for greater regulation and safety awareness surrounding the use of electric motorcycles and e-bikes, especially among young people.
Detectives from Northumbria Police have launched an urgent inquiry to establish the full circumstances surrounding the Bedlington crash.
