A 16-year-old boy, described by his family as having the "biggest heart," has died after being struck by a car at a pedestrian crossing in south Manchester.
Alfie Moran was hit on Kingsway in Burnage on Friday, January 2, around 6:40 p.m. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries but later succumbed to his injuries.
In an emotional tribute, his mother, Shelley, wrote on social media: "My Alfie boy was always our special boy with the biggest heart. He was the best friend to everyone, losing him has left our family broken. I will forever be lost without him."
She shared that Alfie loved gaming and motorbikes and had started saving to buy his first bike.
Ongoing Investigation
Greater Manchester Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit is investigating the incident. An 18-year-old man has been arrested and released on bail in connection with the crash. Authorities are appealing to witnesses or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
A fundraiser has been set up by family friend Mario Conway to support Alfie's family. "It’s the start of a new year and no parent should have to deal with the loss of their child," Conway said.
The community in Burnage has been left in shock as police continue their inquiries into the tragic collision.
