[Police are appealing for information after
a 12-year-old boy died on the M62
near Cleckheaton last night (Saturday, 5 August).
The boy was struck by a vehicle on the
eastbound carriageway of the M62 between
junctions 25 and 26 at around 9.50pm,
with him being found in the westbound carriageway.]


Tragic



Just Live on SkyNewsHD

Tragic, but a 12 year old boy out at night at 9.50pm, on such a dangerous road?

I often see groups of very young looking kids around at night - 9.50 isn't that late. If he was with a group then I'd put it down to young boys being reckless and naive about the dangers.

If he was slone, then very sadly even at 12 years old you can't rule out the possibility of suicide.

Absolutely awful and tragic either way.

Nights are drawing in now. I noticed last night, I had to put the light on at 9.00pm.

No, he just wanted to get across the road

There is a Problem
No one should try to cross that busy Motorway Junction
it was getting Dark,
Too dangerous, to try to get
across a busy motorway - at any time


Of Course, after hitting the lad he
never stopped 'hit and run' case

Tragic. But why would anyone be trying to cross on a motorway?

Motorways are for motor's the clues in the name.

arrested?

Yes they have Arrested the Hit and Run Driver.




Real Tragic, the lad tried to cross the
Busy Motorway Junction.

Fled the scene of the accident which means, most likely, they were either speeding or had something in their system (or both).

Obviously the boy shouldn't have been crossing a motorway on foot anyway, and was in extreme eisk either way (and it may have happened regardless).

Driver will still face legal consequences if they were speeding to any significant degree though. And will do for leaving the scene, regardless.

He was walking along the motorway with a 36 year old man, the man has been arrested.
Maybe the driver clipped him side on and didn’t realise he had hit someone.:shrug:

Some of these comments have "why was she wearing such a short skirt" energy.

Thanks smudgie

Terrible tell the lad to cross at the wrong time


Tragic

Yes i wouldn't want t cross a motorway in broad daylight nevermind in the dark.

She wants to flash her pins.

Update the fella
arrested first was with him telling him to run across.


Now a driver has been arrested,
as well

The boys father has admitted his manslaughter. He had him in the car, was drink driving and crashed the car. The boy tried to call 99 but his Dad told him to end the call and cross the carriageway. Heartbreaking for the rest of his family :sad:
