An inquest was opened today into the death of a schoolboy who fell under the wheels of a bus.
Jamie Wells, 12, tried to step down from a moving double decker at a road junction, just yards from a stop near his home on March 8.
He died later that day at Middlesbrough General Hospital.
Teesside Coroner's Court heard evidence of identification from Jamie's mother, Patricia Bingham, 30, of Dufton Road, Linthorpe.
Deputy Coroner Gordon Hetherington adjourned proceedings for further inquiries.
