BREAKING NEWS Man, 20, is arrested on suspicion of murder after teenage pedestrian killed and e-rider, 18, seriously wounded in 'hit and run' involving Audi
A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a teenager was killed in a 'hit and run'. The incident, which took place in Sheffield yesterday, saw a grey car appear to swerve towards a group of e-bike riders before ploughing into the boy as he walked along the pavement. The 16-year-old was rushed to hospital and later died from his injuries. An 18-year-old e-bike rider who was also struck by the vehicle remains fighting for his life. South Yorkshire Police have arrested a man and woman, both in their 40s, on suspicion of assisting an offender and remain in custody, whilst officers appeal for witnesses, footage, or any information about the crash. Video shared online appears to show two e-bike riders and a motorcyclist riding on the road before a grey Audi driving in the opposite direction, appears to swerve into their path. In harrowing footage, the motorcyclist narrowly misses the car while one of the e-bike riders is hit head on, being thrown into the air and into the hedge in front of a property. Less than a second later, the driver continues on a further 80ft, crashing into the 16-year-old pedestrian who had just stopped walking on the pavement at the corner of Barnardiston Road before appearing to raise his hand. Senior Investigating Officer in the case, Detective Chief Inspector Benjamin Wood said: 'This is a tragic incident in which an entirely innocent bystander, who was going about his daily business, has sadly lost his life. Our thoughts are with the boy's loved ones, and we remain focused on securing justice for them. 'We know that this incident will have caused concern in the local community, and we have a team of detectives working at pace to piece together the circumstances which unfolded. 'We're aware of footage being shared online and I'd like to reiterate our message to the public to withhold from speculating or circulating videos which may cause distress to the boy's family. 'If you have any footage, imagery or information that may help our investigation then please share this directly with us – it may form an important part of our enquiries. We are also keen to hear from the riders of two electric bikes who were in the area at the time of the incident.'
