Boy, 6, who died in van crash was 'loved more deeply than words could ever express'

The GoFundMe fund-raiser was launched by Kate Jones to help cover Harrison's funeral and memorial costs, as well as household bills and essential expenses while his parents take time away from work to grieve.

By Saturday morning it was nearing its £20,000 target.

"Our family's world was changed forever when Kayleigh and Daryl's beautiful 6-year-old son Harrison was tragically hit by a vehicle outside of his own home and sadly passed away at the scene in front of his family," Jones said.

"There are no words that can truly describe the heartbreak and devastation his parents, sisters and our whole family are experiencing," Jones said on the fund-raiser page.

"A child should never be taken from their family so suddenly, under such tragic circumstances and we are all struggling to come to terms with this unimaginable loss," she said.

"Harrison's mum and dad are facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye to their precious little boy, while trying to somehow navigate life without him so we have set up this fundraiser to help Harrison's parents through the difficult weeks and months ahead."

An investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing and police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident or was in the area around Pen y Bryn Road and Mill Road at the time to get in touch with them.
