A teenager who died after his electric bike crashed into a parked ambulance as he was followed by police has been named locally as Saul Cookson.
The 15-year-old died following the incident on Langworthy Road in Salford on Thursday June 8, after he had been followed by traffic cops. Greater Manchester Police has referred the incident to watchdogs the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which has launched an investigation.
Saul has not been formally identified as the victim of the crash. However, the Mirror reports that his sister Taylor-Jade has paid tribute to him on social network Instagram, calling him "my best friend and brother in one".
She wrote: "Seriously can't believe I'm typing this right now. I'm lost for words and don't know what to say. Just so crazy how it happened. In one blink he was gone.
"He was way too young and shouldn't have gone at 15. He was seriously my best friend and brother in one.
"Even though he did annoy me we had the best memories and will never be forgotten. I'm so proud to call you MY brother and you will always be in my mind and by my side.
"Such a cruel world and how fast it happened I was literally just talking to my mum and it just happened in one blink after all the good memories and I wish we could've made more but all of them are still in my heart. Rest easy Saul."
Devastated cousin Jack Pennington penned his own eulogy, writing: "Everyone who knew Saul knew he was the nicest lad about, had a good heart, polite and have you like no tomorrow. Can't believe I'm writing this, no other word describes it other than shock.
"Don't feel real in the slightest one of the best lads you could meet and I feel lucky to have called you my cousin. Had some good times growing up...can't believe
