BREAKING: Police arrest Greater Manchester man as boy killed in M62 hit-and-run

A Greater Manchester man has been arrested after a 12-year-old boy was tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash on the M62 motorway.

Police investigating a collision in which the boy was killed on the M62 have made two arrests so far as enquiries continue. A 47-year-old man from the Bolton area has today been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving as part of ongoing police investigations into the incident on the M62 near Cleckheaton on Saturday night .

Officers from the force’s Major Collision and Enquiry Team have now recovered the black Toyota C-HR car which was involved in a collision with the 12-year-old on the eastbound carriageway of the M62 between junctions 25 and 26 at around 9.50pm. A 36-year-old man who has already been arrested on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of a child remains under arrest in police custody.

“As part of our enquiries we are appealing for anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage of the Toyota C-HR’s movements after the collision with the child to contact us. We would appeal for footage taken of the black Toyota, which had sustained damage to its front and windscreen, taken between 9.50pm and 10.30pm during which period we believe the car travelled from the Chain Bar roundabout along Whitehall Road towards junction with Westfield Lane.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team by using 101 Live Chat or by calling 101, quoting log 1786 of 5 August.
