Teen joyrider killed in A66 police chase

A teenager killed in a police chase on the A66 was on trial for racially abusing officers at the time of the crash.

The teen joyrider died after a police pursuit, and it has now emerged that his case for racial abuse and assaulting an officer had been adjourned.

A fundraising campaign for two police officers killed in a separate A66 crash has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Police had aborted a pursuit seconds before a fatal crash that killed seven people.

New details continue to emerge about the incidents on the A66.
