A 17-year-old male has been released on police bail following his arrest in connection with a fatal incident in Porthcawl, South Wales. The teenager was questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving a vehicle taken without consent. The incident, which occurred last Saturday, saw a car leave the road and enter the River Ogmore.
