A riot broke out in Cardiff because police wouldn't let the parents of two teenage boys who died in a collision get close to the scene, a close relative of one of the crash victims has told Sky News.
Jenny Sampson was at the scene after two boys, who have not been named, were involved in a crash while riding an electric bike on Snowden Road in the Ely area of the city on Monday night.
She said: "Basically we were all at the scene, the police was just having none of it, they wouldn't let the mums, the dads come up and see their own kids laying on the floor."
"They wouldn't let (the parents) do nothing, it was disgusting how they treated them, and they made them walk home and give them the news in the house, didn't give them any sort of news at the scene, we were there for hours waiting and waiting and they still wouldn't let them through to see if their son was OK."
In the hours after the crash, fireworks and other missiles were thrown at a line of police officers with riot shields who were blocking one end of the street.
A helicopter hovered overhead during the disorder as at least two cars were set alight.
Asked what caused the rioting, Ms Sampson said: "The police, how bad the police treated everybody, you can't treat families like that... With two young kids laying on the floor, and their own family couldn't even get to them, they couldn't even seen their own son's last breaths, it's wrong and it's disgusting."

“As we often see there’s insufficient information to draw a proper conclusion. Also doubtful that we’ll ever get a genuinely informative follow-up.”
Politics & demographics are used too often as a false reason to keep the public clueless about things they need to know, such as the reasons the Nashville trans person killed children and teachers in a Christian school.
“What greater source of truth and accuracy could there be than an angry mob boiling over with rumors and drink...”
That is the precious “democracy” the leftists fear is endangered.
I’m trying to picture a couple of boys running from the police on an electric bicycle.
Were it not for the deaths, it would sound somewhat comical.
