Lennix Sutcliffe, 8, was fatally injured while on a low-down scooter/toy on Woodland View at around 4:30pm yesterday (Saturday) when a driver was pulling into a driveway.

Lennix sadly died at the scene.

His parents Jackie and Chris have released the following tribute: 

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 Pokémon and his favourite character was Charizard. He was playing today, just playing, taking every ounce of enjoyment that life offered
