Boy dies after collision
19/ 5/2008
POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision where a teenage boy was killed.
Shortly before 8.45am this morning, police were called to Bury Road, close to its junction with Sandy Lane, following reports of the incident.
Officers attended and discovered a boy, believed to be 17-years-old, with serious injuries. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
It is believed he had been in collision with a Peugeot 206 and had been riding a Suzuki motorbike prior to the collision.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
Police are also keen to trace the driver of a black BMW 3 Series, thought to be an Asian woman, who is believed to have left the scene.
Detective Inspector Daryl Chadwick of Rochdale CID said: "Tragically this has resulted in the death of a young man and I am keen to hear from anyone that may have witnessed the collision to come forward.
"I am especially keen to hear from the driver of a black BMW that we believe may have witnessed what happened. It may be that you do not know anything about the collision, but if you were driving a black BMW along Bury Road at the time of the incident please come forward."
Anyone with any information is asked to call Rochdale CID on 0161 856 4646 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
