Tributes have been left at the scene where an 11-year-old boy tragically died after being hit by a bus in South Tyneside.
The boy had been riding his bicycle on Lizard Lane, Whitburn, at around 3.30pm yesterday (October 25) when he was involved in a collision with a bus. Emergency services were called but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Northumbria Police say formal identification is still to take place but the boy’s family is being supported by specialist officers and have requested privacy at this time.
