- Young Ace dies after being hit by a car
- TO GoFundMe He has stepped up to support his family
A four-year-old boy who died after being hit by a car has been remembered as “the sweetest, most kind-hearted boy.”
Ace was hit by a Ford sedan on Glossop Street in North St Marys, in Sydney’s west, about 12.05pm on Monday.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated him at the scene but he died on the way to hospital.
The driver was taken to Nepean Hospital for mandatory testing and a crime scene was established.
A friend of Ace’s family released a GoFundMe hours after the incident to help his bereaved parents and older sister cover funeral expenses.
“Ace was the sweetest, biggest-hearted kid who loved playing with his cars and dinosaurs and spending time with the people he loved,” the fundraising page reads.
“His bright light will not be forgotten and the world seems darker without him.”
He added that Ace will be the first thing his family “thinks about when they wake up and the last thing they remember before they fall asleep.”
