Two young motorcyclists have been killed in Lower Broughton

It is believed the male teenagers were riding on the same motorbike on Lower Broughton Road at 8.20pm when it was in collision with a silver Vauxhall Viva as they attempted to turn into Clarence Street.

Emergency services attended but sadly a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old were later pronounced dead in hospital.

The families of both victims are being supported by specialist officers as our investigation into the incident continues.

The 24-year-old female driver of the car stayed at the scene to assist officers, no arrests have been made.

Detective Sergeant Matt Waggett, of our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This is a heart-breaking and upsetting incident where two young men have sadly lost their lives and our thoughts are with their families.

“Our investigation continues so we can give them the answers they deserve.

“We are looking for anyone who has any information regarding the incident to come forward and get in touch with us.”
