The family of a little boy who died in car crash on Saturday (24 Sept) have paid tribute to the 'sweet and loving' boy.
Nine-year-old Jake Allen died at the scene after the off-road vehicle in which he was travelling overturned on Coney Green Farm off Ribbesford Road, Stourport-on-Severn.
His family said: “We’re all completely devastated by the loss of our Jakey. He was such a kind, respectful and loving little boy. When he wasn’t making videos with his sister, Lilli-Louise, he was always offering to help out around the house.
"He would break out into the most beautiful smile and, with those close to him, he was warm and chatty."
“He could seem serious and quiet at first, but then he would break out into the most beautiful smile and, with those close to him, he was warm and chatty.
“Jakey enjoyed reading, drumming, gaming and playing football with his friends. He loved his dog, Bobby, and anything and everything to do with animals. He would often come out with random facts about birds or plants, we never knew where he got them from, but when we looked them up, he was always right.
“Lilli-Louise called him her ‘little teddy bear’ and said he was the 'bestest little brother and he was fantastic at swimming and was always compared to a fish.’ Lilli-Louise, along with the whole family, loves and misses him so very much.”
Four ambulances and an air ambulance were called at 4:45pm on Saturday and treated a little girl, another boy, a man, and a woman. They were sent to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
Sadly, Jake died at the scene.
The family has asked for privacy at this time.
