The family of a 14-year-old boy who died in a police pursuit have said ‘losing Leo has been a living hell’. Leo Ryan Gradwell died after he crashed a stolen Fiat 500 hatchback which collided with a Kia Sportage SUV — and then a Renault Clio — on Asthon Road in Golborne.

He was one of three teens in the car, which was taken in an armed robbery the day before. Last week, an inquest into his death confirmed that one of the occupants ‘filmed’ the pursuing police car, which engaged in a ‘lawful’ chase.

It was also said that Leo was not involved in the robbery of the Fiat. READ MORE: Brianna Ghey vigil ‘disrupted’ after vile homophobic abuse hurled at gatherers Leo died on October 11, 2019, in Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
