A boy sadly died after a bus collision in Birmingham today. He was sadly confirmed dead at the scene.
The 12-year-old is believed to have been riding an e-scooter when he collided with a bus on Bordesley Green, near the junction with Belchers Lane, just before 8 am.
While our investigators work to establish what happened, the road remains closed this afternoon.
The youngster’s family has been told and is being supported by specially trained officers.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes, of our serious collision investigation unit, said: “This is an awful tragedy for the young boy’s family and friends, and our thoughts are with them at this time.
“We’ve spoken to a number of witnesses, but still want to hear from any of the passengers on the bus who we’ve not yet spoken to, or from people who may have captured what happened on dashcam.
“If people do have footage, we’d ask them not to share it on social media but to send it to us so that we can help establish exactly what happened.”
