A six-year-old boy who died after being struck by a van in North Wales has been named as Harrison Glynne Jones. Harrison was hit on Mill Road in Llanfairfechan, in Conwy county, shortly after 17:00 BST on Thursday. North Wales Police said officers had been called to reports involving a child and a white Ford Transit Tipper.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said a 39-year-old man was arrested and later released under investigation. An inquiry into the circumstances of the collision remains ongoing.
A fundraising page set up to support Harrison’s family described him as a cheerful child with a strong personality. The tribute said he had been loved deeply by his family. The appeal, launched by Kate Jones, is intended to help with funeral and memorial costs, household bills and essential expenses while Harrison’s parents take time away from work to grieve.
By Saturday morning, it was nearing its target of £20,000. The fundraising appeal said Harrison’s parents, sisters and wider family were struggling to cope with his death. It described the collision as having occurred outside his home and said the child died at the scene in front of relatives.
