No Charges for Police Officer in Fatal Ely E-Bike Crash

The Crown Prosecution Service cites insufficient evidence to prosecute the officer who followed two teenagers before their fatal collision in May 2023.

• The Crown Prosecution Service announced no charges will be brought against the Wales Police officer involved in the incident.
• Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, died in a road traffic collision while riding an e-bike near their homes in Ely, Cardiff, in May 2023.
• The officer had been following the teenagers in a police van shortly before the crash, prompting a detailed review of evidence for potential dangerous driving charges.
• The decision not to prosecute was based on insufficient evidence to secure a realistic prospect of conviction, according to Malcolm McHaffie of the CPS Special Crime Division.
• The families of the victims have been informed of the decision and offered a meeting to discuss the reasoning behind it.
