"Shortly after 3:30 p.m yesterday, we received a report a boy had been riding a bicycle on Lizard lane, when he collided with a bus."

Phil Patterson, Inspector at Northumbria Police, added:

"This collision has had devastating consequences for all involved, and our thoughts are with the boy's family at this incredibly difficult time. We are working hard to establish exactly what happened in the moments leading up to the collision and have spoken with a number of witnesses already to help us build up that picture."

"We are now asking for anyone else who saw what happened or who may have dashcam from the area to get in touch and assist us."
