A man has been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child after a 12-year-old boy died in a collision on the M62, police said.

Callum Rycroft from Harehills, Leeds, was hit by a Toyota C-HR while walking with a man after an earlier collision involving an Audi Q5 on the slip road to Hartshead Moor services on Saturday. The schoolboy is believed to have been attempting to cross the motorway from the hard shoulder.
