Floral tributes have been left on Tunwell Avenue in Sheffield

A 14-year-old boy has died after the motorbike he was riding was involved in a collision with a car.

The teenager's red and white Stomp Juice Box 110cc motorcycle and a black Ford Mondeo crashed on Tunwell Avenue in Parson Cross, Sheffield at about 18:15 BST on Monday, South Yorkshire Police said.

The boy was taken to hospital where he later died. The car driver, a 30-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and other traffic offences. He was later released on bail.

Police have appealed for witnesses, or anyone with dashcam footage, to get in touch.

Sgt John Taylor said: "We understand that any fatal collision can have a shocking effect on our communities, and especially those involving a child.

"We are in the early stages of our investigation to ascertain the circumstances, but we urge that you do not speculate on social media or share anything that can prejudice our inquiry."

A police spokesperson said officers would visit the area to speak to anyone with concerns.
