Boy, 7, dies after being struck by car on A-road

A seven-year-old boy has died after being struck by a car on the A38 in Nottinghamshire.

Emergency services were called to the A38 King's Mill Road East, near Kingfisher Way, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, at 20:26 GMT on Tuesday.

Logan Parker, who lived in the area, died at the scene, officers said, with the driver stopping and assisting investigators with their inquiries.

In a tribute issued through police, Logan's mother said he would "remain seven forever", adding he was "my little superhero who loved to play and make us laugh".

The A38 was closed in both directions and reopened later, police said.

The statement from Logan's mother added: "In memory of a boy who will remain seven forever. Always unconditionally loved and cherished, you will never, ever be forgotten.

"There are no words other than you are the most beautiful, happy and mischievous special boy - full of love, light and adventure.

"You will be always part of me and our hearts, my little superhero who loved to play and make us laugh.

"From your cheeky grin, your giggles, dancing and singing to making figures with your arts and crafts whilst eating your favourite snacks, Pic-Nics, on the park and sandy beaches, you will forever echo through my soul.

"We will miss you so much. Rest my super angel. Your memory will live on forever. This is not goodbye but a 'see you soon'."

Det Insp Jamie Moore, of Nottinghamshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This is a devastating incident and our thoughts are with Logan's family, friends and loved ones.

"The circumstances are being investigated and we would ask the privacy of the family is respected at this tragic and difficult time."

Any witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage that could help the police has been asked to contact the force on 101.
