A 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the death of 12-year-old Logan Carter in a playground accident in Winsford, Cheshire. Police believe the incident occurred when the wheels of an e-bike were used to propel a roundabout at Wharton recreation ground on Friday 29 August.
Officers were called to the scene near Ledward Street at 6.11pm by the North West Ambulance Service. Logan was found seriously injured and treated by paramedics, but is understood to have died at the scene. The roundabout was later cordoned off by police.
In a statement released by Cheshire Police, Logan's family described him as “a little boy who was so full of life” with “an infectious personality and a beautiful smile”. They said: “Logan was everyone’s therapy person; their calm, and he will be missed more than we can ever put into words.”
The arrested teenager has been released under investigation while inquiries continue. Winsford Academy, the school Logan attended, expressed deep sadness and offered support to students and staff. A GoFundMe page set up by family friends had raised more than £14,000 by Monday evening.
Police are urging witnesses or anyone with information to contact them via the website or on 101, quoting IML-2165641.
