Boy charged following death of 14-year-old in Wythenshawe e-scooter crash

A 14-year-old boy is set to face court for his role in the tragic e-scooter accident that led to the death of Jacob Calland, also 14, in Wythenshawe. Jacob tragically passed away eight days after the crash with a car on Timpson Road last March. His mother, Carly, started a campaign called Jacob’s Journey to raise awareness about e-scooter safety and push for regulatory changes. She shared a poignant final photo of herself and Jacob together in hospital. Jacob was remembered as a bright and loving boy whose life was cut short.

He’s been released on bail and is due to appear at Manchester youth court on February 24.
