The circumstances surrounding the death of a teenager who was hit by a taxi are still being investigated by police.
Elliot Ayre was walking along the A689 near Toronto, County Durham, at around 2.40am on December 27 when he was struck by a taxi, heading for Bishop Auckland. Paramedics attended, but tragically, the 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following Elliot's death, a police investigation was launched and the force urged any witnesses to come forward. Now, over a fortnight later, Durham Constabulary has confirmed that officers are still investigating.
