Tributes to boy, 9, after fatal crash
MOVING tributes have been paid to a nine-year-old boy who died in a crash in Dorset earlier this week.
Zac Roe, from Andover in Hampshire, was a passenger in a grey Citroen DS9 that was in collision with a white Ford Transit and a DAF cattle transporter truck on the A354 Salisbury Road at East Woodyates at about 5.20pm on Monday.
Tributes were yesterday paid to Zac, who died at the scene.
His father Josh Roe said: “Words cannot describe the pain I’m feeling, my heart is broken. You are my little angel. I love you more than anything in this world, you are my best buddy.”
Zac’s grandfather Chris Roe added: “Zac, there are just no words to find. I just want to thank you for the wonderful and funfilled memories we shared on your short journey of your life.
“You were taken too soon, but memories will last us a lifetime. We will never stop loving you. Your smile and laughter still echoes around my and everyone’s heart. Sweet dreams our little angel.”
The driver of the Citroen – a woman aged in her 30s from Hampshire – was arrested on suspicion of murder and has now been released without charge for that offence.
She was also arrested on suspicion of a driving offence and has been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Third, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts continue to remain with all those affected by the sad death of Zac Roe.
“An investigation is ongoing with detailed enquiries being carried out to establish the full circumstances of what happened.”
