Police are looking for witnesses after a fatal collision in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
Emergency services were called to a report of a collision between a car and a child on the A38 Kings Mill Road East, near Kingfisher Way, at 8.26pm on Tuesday (10 March).
Sadly, Logan Parker, aged seven, died at the scene.
Logan lived in the area, and his family are being supported by specially trained officers.
To help with the investigation, the A38 was closed in both directions and reopened later.
The driver stopped at the scene and is assisting collision investigators with their enquiries.
Paying tribute to Logan, his mum issued a statement that reads:
“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, in the park and on 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’. Love from mum and family.”
Detective Inspector 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 that the privacy of the family is respected at this tragic and difficult time.
“We’d like to appeal for any witnesses to this incident to please come forward, including anyone with dashcam footage which could help our investigation.
“If you can help, please call us on 101 quoting incident number 770 of 10 March.”
