THE family of Lennix Sutcliffe – an eight-year-old tragically killed in a crash after his scooter was hit by a car on a driveway – have paid tribute to “the light of our small village”.

Lennix sadly passed away after a crash in Woodland View, Dilton Marsh, at around 4.30pm on Saturday afternoon (April 13), when a driver pulled into a driveway in the street.

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 Pokémon 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.”

Police have asked that the family’s privacy is respected as they attempt to come to terms with their loss.

“Enquiries in relation to the collision remain ongoing by our Serious Collision Investigation Team,” a Wiltshire Police spokesperson said.

After the crash, a man in his 30s was interviewed by police.

Anyone who can help should contact police on 101 and quote log number 218, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
