The police watchdog said the evidence indicated that the extent of the police contact with Saul was brief and lasted approximately 25 seconds from when officers first saw the e-bike to when it collided with the ambulance.
Police acted ‘appropriately’ before teenager’s fatal e-bike crash Police officers behaved “appropriately” when they briefly followed a 15-year-old boy on an e-bike before he fatally collided with an ambulance, a report has found.
Its probe determined that although the police presence may have affected the manner of Saul’s riding, there was no indication any officer had behaved in a manner that would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings or had committed a criminal offence.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an investigation after it received a mandatory referral from Greater Manchester Police.
The officers followed Saul for a short period until he slipped past a set of bollards and went on to hit the moving ambulance.
