Mum's tribute to 'kind and caring' son killed in Catterick collision

The mother of an eight-year-old boy who died following a collision with a car in Catterick last week has paid tribute to him.

Joshua Slater’s mum Kirsty has described him as “a bundle of joy, who was always smiling and always lit up the room."

Joshua was involved in the collision in Catterick on Tuesday 5 September.

Mum Kirsty added, "He loved everyone in his life, his family, and his friends, he loved music and motorbikes and football, he was a proud Chelsea fan.

"Joshua was kind and caring and loved with every part of his soul especially his mum, we were best mates.”

Joshua’s mum would like to thank everyone in the emergency services who attended that night, and to everyone in the local community who have reached out to her.
