A young boy in county Durham has died after riding a mini-motorbike, crashing and hitting a metal pole.
The hearing heard how Lennox’s older cousin wanted to go at the front so she could control the revs, but Lennox managed to get in front because of his strength.
DI Green continued: ‘It just looks like a mini-motorbike but it’s made for children so it’s quite small. Her father was supervising her, she was learning how to ride the bike.’ She said: ‘Both parents and [the other youngster] describe him as being very excited to see the motorbike and initially asking if he could have a go on it.
‘Mum and dad describe telling Lennox he would have to wait – he could go on but he would have to wear his PPE dropped off in the kitchen by grandma.‘He has sort of squirmed his way between her arms. Although he was four and his cousin was seven, he is described as being very strong and she was very slight.’At the time, Lennox’s mum Rachel was packing dummies because they were going to his grandma’s for Sunday lunch.
Lennox started crying when the crash happened but as he was taken back to the house by his family, his cries turned to ‘moans’ as he slowly began to change colour.
