A grieving family paid tribute to their ‘beautiful’ boy who was pronounced dead after being hit by a car.
Tyler Wills was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead after a car hit him along Crawley Avenue between Ifield Roundabout and Ifield Community College in West Wessex.
His heartbroken family issued a statement that read: “Our beautiful boy Tyler – he was the most caring, loving, kind boy.”
“He has made his family so proud,” the statement continued. “He will be loved and missed forever. Our beautiful boy, I hope you’re up high kicking that ball.
“We love you more than words will ever say. Mummy loves you.”
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “Nobody has been arrested, but enquiries are ongoing to find out exactly what happened.”
Police also said that they would like anybody who witnessed the incident or anybody with dashcam footage of the tragedy to come forward.
A friend of the family set up a GoFundMe page to help for funeral expenses.
“Tyler was one of the sweetest boys you could meet, he never had a bad bone in his body and always helped people whenever he could,” the fundraiser read.
“I’m setting this page up as I’d like to get the funds so his family can give him the best send off and one he deserves but also a gravestone so everyone that loves Tyler and has had the pleasure to meet him can visit and lay flowers as well as pay their respects for years to come.”
One well-wisher wrote: “RIP Tyler, you will be forever missed, but never forgot. It is so sad that you have passed and many sorries to your family. R.I.P Tyler Wills fly high my friend.”
Another said: “My heartfelt condolences to the family. As a parent I can’t even begin to imagine how heartbreaking. Love and strength to you all. Fly high Beautiful Tyler.”
A third added: “Tyler was a good friend to my son Billy, kind, caring, sporty and supportive. Billy is going to miss you loads, Tyler. X.”
