Police: a mistake was made

POLICE have admitted they ‘overreacted’ after being given the wrong information about a disturbance which led to the death of a promising young footballer, an inquest heard.

Nathan Owen, 16, from Droylsden, died after being hit by a vehicle while trying to run across the M60 motorway in Ashton last October.

He was with two friends trying to cross the carriageway after fleeing from police.
