Tragic Hit-and-Run Claims Life of 12-Year-Old Keaton Slater in Coventry

In a heart-wrenching incident that has left a family in devastation, 12-year-old Keaton Slater was fatally struck by a car in Coventry. The hit-and-run occurred on Radford Road shortly after 16:30 on Friday, and despite immediate medical attention, Keaton was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Slater family is mourning the loss of a boy they describe as “beautiful inside and out,” a “fun-loving little comedian” whose life’s joy was to “make everyone laugh and smile.” The tragedy has stripped them of their “baby and little brother,” leaving behind an irreplaceable void filled with sorrow.
