Ryan Marshall was hit by a car last Saturday
The family of a boy who died in a fatal collision in Andover at the weekend have paid tribute to him.
At around 6pm on Saturday (21 December), a silver Ford Fiesta was involved in a collision with a pedestrian on New Street near to ATS Tyres.
The pedestrian, 15-year-old Ryan Marshall from Andover, was taken to hospital where he sadly passed away from his injuries on Sunday (22 December).
Lovely
Paying tribute to him today, Ryan’s mum said: “Ryan was a lovely, caring boy with a cheeky smile and wicked, cheeky sense of humour.
“He was loved so much by me, the family and everyone who knew him. We are all very heart-broken that he was taken from us.”
Witnesses
Specialist officers are supporting Ryan’s family as detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit continue to investigate the incident.
The driver of the vehicle involved, a 29-year-old woman from Andover, has been arrested on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drugs. She has been released from police custody but remains under investigation pending further enquiries.
Police are still appealing for any witnesses to come forward and speak to them. Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you were driving through the area and may have dash cam footage which captured something?
