ANKARA - Chased by police after ignoring a stop order, a teenage biker died in a road crash in central France on Wednesday evening, according to media reports.

Police started chasing the teenager and the collision happened at a crossroads, according to the report.

Two police officers were taken into custody and two separate investigations were launched - one into involuntary homicide and the other into refusal to comply with police orders. - BERNAMA-ANADOLU
