FATAL CRASH

Coppull Youth is Remanded

Arising out of an accident in which the pillion passenger on a motor cycle was killed, a 16 years old Coppull, Wigan, youth appeared at the Preston Juvenile Panel today charged with stealing a motor-cycle value £120.

Detective Chief Inspector R. Gregory said a more serious charge would be preferred at a later date, and the youth was remanded on bail until next Wednesday.

Mr. Gregory said the motor cycle was left outside the Queen's Hall at Preston on Saturday night, and at 11pm Constable Cornwell was on duty in a police car at the junction of Adelphi Street and Moor Lane, Preston, when he saw the motor cycle with two youths riding it being driven at a fast speed, and saw it collide with the wall of the Lamb and Packet Hotel, Friargate.

Both youths were thrown from the machine and were removed to Preston Infirmary.

Later the accused youth admitted he was the driver of the motor cycle and had taken it from outside the dance hall.

He had been charged with the offence on discharge from the Infirmary today.
