A SCHOOLBOY has been killed in a car crash - with cops arresting a 21-year-old over "dangerous driving".
The 14-year-old child was travelling in the passenger seat of a silver Vauxhall Corsa when it was involved in the smash down a country lane in Yorkshire on Sunday.
Cops raced to Tarn Lane, in Keighley, around 2pm following urgent 999 calls.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics who were also deployed, the teen was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Corsa, 21, was taken to hospital for treatment where he was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He remains in police custody as police confirm no other car was involved.
Two others travelling in the car suffered minor injuries.
West Yorkshire Police is now appealing for witnesses who may have seen what happened.
Detective Inspector Paul Conroy said: “This is a tragic incident where a young boy has lost his life in a serious road traffic collision.
“His family are being supported by specially trained officers.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area yesterday who saw the vehicle or collision of who may have dash cam footage to come forward.”
