A police officer, Daniel Cartwright, appeared in court to deny charges of causing death by dangerous driving after a 16-year-old boy was killed in an e-bike collision with his car. The incident occurred in Bramcote, Nottingham, in September last year when Ryley Hutson was pronounced dead at the scene. Cartwright, who was off-duty at the time, made a not guilty plea and was bailed until December 18 for a hearing to set a trial date, which is currently scheduled for January 11 next year. An online fundraiser has raised over £4,000 for Ryley's funeral and memorial.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
