A tragic event shook the quiet town of Stanley, County Durham yesterday evening. A 16-year-old motorbike rider lost their life after colliding with a taxi driver on Park Road. The accident occurred near a junction and was reported to emergency services at around 8pm. In response, three paramedic crews, a doctor, a rapid response paramedic, and a hazardous area response team rushed to the scene.
Upon arrival, they found the motorbike rider and a passenger of the taxi with severe injuries. Both were immediately taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, located about ten miles away from the crash site. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, the young rider unfortunately passed away upon arrival at the hospital.
In the wake of this tragedy, authorities have launched an investigation and are appealing for any information or dash cam footage that could shed light on what happened. According to reports from ITV, the taxi driver is believed to have escaped unharmed, while the 16-year-old passenger remains in hospital.
The road where the accident took place was closed for several hours as investigators combed the area for clues. It has since been reopened this morning. For those who may have seen or captured anything relevant, Durham Constabulary's serious collision investigation unit can be reached via email at
