A biker has been charged with causing the death of a four-year-old boy in a crash between an off-road motorcycle and a car. 

Brian Cameron, 32, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and causing death by driving while uninsured and unlicensed.

He is expected to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. 

Nottinghamshire Police said the boy was pronounced dead at the scene on Churchill Drive, Newark, on Sunday.

The youngster had been riding on the same bike as a 24-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in hospital with serious injuries.

It is believed the motorbike was travelling in a convoy with another bike before the crash took place at around 6pm.

The rider of the second bike left the scene before police arrived. That led to the arrest of a second suspect on Monday. 

Floral tributes and a balloon have since been laid against a fence near the crash scene, with a can of Red Bull stood upright on the pavement nearby.

Detective Inspector Jamie Moore, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘The boy’s loved ones continue to be supported by specialist officers and have been informed about this important update in our investigation.

‘I would ask that their privacy is respected as they try to come to terms with what has happened.

‘This is a deeply distressing incident for all those involved and I’d also urge people not to speculate online about the circumstances.’
