A 15-year-old boy is in critical condition after an e-scooter crash on a town road.

Another 15-year-old boy, who was being carried as a passenger on the e-scooter, suffered minor injuries in the one-vehicle collision.

Officers are appealing for information about the incident.

“The road was closed for a short time to allow officers to carry out inquiries.

“I would urge anyone who may have seen the e-scooter involved prior to the incident, or who has any dashcam footage to contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 1943 of July 9 2023.
