Boy, 14, who died during police chase was driving stolen car

A teenage boy who died after a crash during a police chase was driving a stolen car, an inquest jury heard.

Leo Gradwell "lost control" of a Fiat 500 and crashed into a Kia Sportage and Renault Clio. At the time of the crash, the 14-year-old was being chased by police, as officers suspected the car he was driving was stolen in Wigan the previous night.

The court heard the blue Fiat 500 had been taken by two masked men, with one allegedly carrying an axe. However Leo was not alleged to be one of the assailants.
