Charles Cobbe died in a collision on July 8th, near Stonehenge
The family of an 11 year old boy, who died in a crash on the A303 near Stonehenge, have paid tribute to him.
Charles Cobbe was killed when the car he was in collided with a lorry parked in a westbound layby at around 7.30pm on Saturday July 8th.
A man in his 40s and a 15 year old suffered serious injuries.
In a statement, released through Wiltshire Police, the family have said:
“As the youngest of three wonderful siblings, Charles was the golden-haired centre of our family. We will miss his life-loving and caring nature every day. It is impossible to imagine the future without him.
“Charles was deeply loved by his family, his friends and our dog Lettice, who magically survived the deeply tragic accident.
“He will be missed and remembered forever. Rest in peace, my darling."
Witness appeal ongoing
