Boy, 14, killed in car crash while man, 21, arrested for ‘dangerous driving’
The boy died at the scene.
A 14-year-old boy has been killed in a ‘tragic’ car crash on a country lane in Yorkshire.
The teenager was in in the passenger seat of a silver Vauxhall Corsa when it was involved in the collision at 2.19pm on Sunday.
Emergency services arrived at the scene, but there was nothing that could have been done to save the victim and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car was travelling on Tarn Lane and heading towards Black Hill Lane, Keighley, at the time.
The driver – a 21-year-old man – has since been arrested over ‘dangerous driving’.
He was first taken to hospital for treatment, and now remains in police custody.
West Yorkshire Police said two other passengers in the car suffered minor injuries.
The force is now appealing for witnesses of the collision to come forward.
Detective inspector Paul Conroy of the Major Collision Enquiry Team said: ‘This is a tragic incident where a young boy has lost his life in a serious road traffic collision.
‘His family are being supported by specially trained officers.
‘I would appeal to anyone who was in the area yesterday who saw the vehicle or collision of who may have dash cam footage to come forward.’
