Shortly before 1pm on Friday, May 16, police received a report of a collision involving a pedestrian and a vehicle on the B1286 Burdon Road in Sunderland, near to the junction with Lidcombe Close. It was understood a woman had been using a zebra crossing when she was struck by a black Sur-Ron electric motorcycle, travelling in a southbound direction. Emergency services attended where Gloria Stephenson, 86, from the Silksworth area, sadly passed away at the scene. Following her tragic death, today (Thursday), Gloria?s family have shared a tribute to her, and said: ?It is with great sadness that our amazing mam, Gloria Stephenson, was tragically killed on the 16th of May. ?We are all devastated at the loss of our vibrant, active, beautiful, and intelligent mam, grandma, mother-in-law and great grandma. ?The press described her as an ?elderly lady? ? however, we want to make absolutely clear that our mam was full of life. ?She was active, fit, healthy, and had years left to give her love and share her energy and zest for life with everyone who knew her. ?The family want to express their heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone who supported mam, and her daughter and grandson at the scene.? An investigation was immediately launched by the Force?s Serious Collision Investigation Unit ? after the rider initially drove away from the area. An 18-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and the vehicle involved was recovered. He remains released on police bail, pending further enquiries.

Despite the police warning against using cannabis as a recreational drug, Stokoe continued smoking it after the crash to help him sleep.

Northumbria Police, in a statement, urged the public to report dangerous e-bike riders to prevent any more accidents and debunk the myth that police won't pursue e-bike riders.
