Two men have been charged after a young boy died in a fail-to-stop collision in Tameside.

At 4.45pm on Monday 29 February 2016, police were called to reports of a collision involving a boy and a car on Moss Street West at the junction with Mowbray Street in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Eleven year-old Shahzaib Hussain was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later.

The Mercedes car that was involved in the collision did not stop at the scene.

Shahzaib’s sister, Javairiya, and his cousins have paid the following tribute on behalf of his family: “Shahzaib was a lovely boy. No one could resist being his friend because he had such a bubbly and fun personality. My dad calls him his "Teddy Bear" and "Gudoo" because he was so loveable.

Henry Brandon Barker of Hampton Road, Failsworth has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while driving uninsured, driving without insurance, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to report an accident.

Aaron James Ward of Hattersley Road West, Hattersley has been charged with aiding and abetting an individual causing death whilst uninsured.

A 27-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been bailed until a later date pending further enquiries.
