RIP

Terrible

RIP little man

Very sad indeed.

awful news, the poor kid.

Absolutely tragedy - words can't begin to describe loss like this.

*accident happened yesterday (date needs to be amended).

My thoughts go out to his parents....

very sad

Really tragic news. My thoughts are with his parents and family and his school friends. Such a waste.

I was about to make an assumption but realised it's best not to make such thing.

There's a cycle lane there iirc

I realised.

So sorry to hear about this. RIP littlun. My thoughts are with his family and also with the cab driver who regardless of circumstances did not set out to kill an eight year old that day. So sad all round. xx

Terrible.

What a terrible loss. So sorry to hear this. RIP little fellow cyclist.

Was just yesterday writing about my own cycling when I was little. So sorry to hear about this, desperately sad news.

That's absolutely tragic, my sincere condolences to the child's family and friends.

That is very distressing. My thoughts are with the people that knew the little lad and everyone else involved.

Awful news. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Poor little guy.

And how awful for the family and friends.

RIP little man :(

:-( rip

Poor child. RIP

(I hope the truth will emerge as to exactly what happened)

Aw man... really sad news. :-( Thoughts are with those involved.

Just seen this thread. Such a sad story, I can't begin to think what his poor family and friends must be going through. Tragic.

Oh God. That just rips you right in two.

Heartbreaking news.

Deepest condolences to the family.
