The parents of an eight-year-old boy who died after being hit by a car in Wiltshire have described him as “the light of our small village”.
Lennix Sutcliffe was fatally injured while on a low-down toy scooter in Woodland View, in Dilton Marsh, near Westbury, when a driver was pulling into a driveway at around 4.30pm on Saturday, police said.
Paying tribute to their son, his parents Jackie and Chris said: “Our Lennix was always playing, a happy go lucky child who was loved by everyone and who loved everyone.
“He simply loved life and was the light of our small village.
“He loved Pokemon and his favourite character was Charizard. He was playing today, just playing, taking every ounce of enjoyment that life offered.
“We as a family are now coming together to support one another. We ask our community to provide us both time and space in the days, weeks and months ahead of us.”
Wiltshire Police said enquiries in relation to the incident remain ongoing by its serious collision investigation team.
