Death crash cyclist, 14, named

A 14-year-old schoolboy who died after his bicycle was in a collision with a car in Dundee has been named by police.

Sean Hanton, from Helmsdale Place in Dundee, was killed while riding his bike on the busy Kingsway road at its junction with Graham Street.

Tayside Police said the collision, which involved a silver Ford Mondeo, happened at about 1845 BST on Tuesday.

A report into the accident will be sent to the procurator fiscal. Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Emergency services, including officers from Tayside Police and a trauma team from Ninewells Hospital, attended the incident.

However, efforts to resuscitate the 14-year-old were in vain and he was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was injured in the collision.
