A HEARTBROKEN family have paid tribute to their “cheeky and caring” boy after he was killed in a horror crash while on his bike.

Seth Fulton, 11, was riding his bicycle when he was involved in a horror crash with a bus and a car in Derby.

Cops swooped on Nottingham Road just before 7pm on Friday evening after the fatal collision.

The schoolboy suffered serious injuries and, despite the best efforts of medical staff, died in hospital.

His family have now released a photo and paid tribute to Seth who was described as “happiest out in nature and on an adventure”

Seth’s mum and dad said in a statement: “He was a lovely colourful lad, independent and cheeky.

“He had a lust for life, loved wildlife and was adventurous. He was caring and compassionate, impulsive and inquisitive.

“He had a thirst for knowledge, was fearless, very sociable and would speak to anyone. He was free thinking and care free.

“He absolutely loved skateboarding and BMX riding. He was so very funny with his silly jokes and dancing.

“He was passionate about anything he put his mind to – he had the best personality.

“Everyone who came into contact with Seth will never forget him.

“He loved his friends as much as they all loved him.

“He was a sweet child that was full of life. He was a so very loved son, brother, grandson and nephew.”

Derbyshire Police has launched an investigation into the crash and has appealed for any dashcam footage to be handed in.

No arrests have been made and the boy’s family are being supported by specialist officers.
