A man from Bishop's Castle has been arrested in connection with the death of teenager Dylan Price who was tragically killed in a collision on the day before his 18th birthday.
The man, aged in his 50s, was arrested this morning (Thursday, September 1) on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and on suspicion of sending malicious communications.
The arrest is in connection with the death of 17-year-old Dylan, who was found at around 5am on the B4385 Brampton Road in Bishop's Castle, almost a year ago on Saturday, September 18, 2021.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics Dylan was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination revealed injuries to be consistent with a collision with a vehicle.
A 42-year-old man who was previously arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving was released with no further action as officers are satisfied he was not involved in the collision.
