A 15-year-old boy who was riding an e-scooter through a red light and crashed into a car in Wythenshawe, Manchester, is spared jail following the death of his passenger. All reports say the passenger, Jacob Calland, was on the back of the e-scooter at the time of the collision. He sustained catastrophic brain injuries and was taken to hospital. One outlet says he dies eight days later, while another describes the injuries as severe and irreversible. The boy is described as “thrill-seeking” or as having been speeding or using “turbo-mode,” with the common allegation being that he rode in a manner involving speed or misuse and ran the red light before the crash. Despite the fatal outcome for Calland, the court does not impose a jail term. The reporting focuses on the crash circumstances, the injuries and death of the passenger, and the fact that the rider receives a non-custodial outcome.
