The heartbroken family of a much-loved 13-year-old who tragically died following a collision in Sunderland have paid tribute to their "cheeky boy who lived life to the fullest".
Officers were alerted to a collision involving a car and a pedal bike shortly after 8.10pm on Sunday (August 14). It was reported that a red Vauxhall Corsa was travelling north from Glover Road onto Silverstone Road when, for reasons yet to be established, it was in a collision with a boy on a bike who was crossing from the underpass.
The boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries but sadly died two days later on Tuesday (August 16). Northumbria Police has since named him as 13-year-old Gregg Lewis McGuire from Washington. His family are continuing to be supported by specially-trained family liaison officers during this incredibly difficult time.
