IOPC regional director Catherine Bates said: “Any death on our roads is a tragedy and sadly in this instance a boy has lost his life and our thoughts remain with his family, friends and all those affected.”
She said the IOPC’s independent investigation aimed to understand events leading up to the collision.
“The evidence we gathered was provided to the coroner to assist with the inquest proceedings, which we hope has helped answer some of the families’ questions about that day,” she added.
Following his death, Saul’s mother Emma Frendo paid tribute to a “much-loved son, brother, grandson, and nephew” and said he was “the sweetest, most kindest boy ever”.
