Police in Sunderland, England, released footage showing the moments before and after a fatal hit-and-run collision involving an illegal e-bike and a pedestrian in May 2025.
The Northumbria Police released this footage, along with a press release. The video clips show Billy Stokoe, who was 18 at the time of the collision, driving “dangerously” around Sunderland before hitting and killing 86-year-old Gloria Stephenson as she stepped into a crosswalk while walking her daughter’s dog.
Police drew attention to how Stokoe was “holding his phone instead of the brake on his handlebars.”
Stokoe fled the scene, hid the bike, and concealed the clothing he was wearing. Stokoe was arrested and charged with several offenses including causing Gloria’s death by dangerous driving. The bike was also recovered.
In February, he pleaded guilty to “causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving a vehicle while unlicensed, and causing death by driving a vehicle while uninsured.”
He later admitted to “causing death by driving without due care/consideration while over specified limit for THC.”
Stokoe was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison, with half to be served in youth detention. He was also handed a driving ban of “eight years, four months and two weeks, with requirements to sit an extended test in the future.”Connect With news.com.au Online ► [https://www.news.com.au] https://bit.ly/3WC8hOP
