Tributes to little boy, 4, killed after being hit by car as family walked home from KFC
TRIBUTES have been left to a little boy, four, who died yesterday after being hit by a car as his family walked home from KFC.
Flowers and a picture of the youngster, named locally as Agarwin Sasikaran, were attached to the railings near to where he was struck in Hayes, West London.
His parents were too distraught to speak last night, but a relative said: "It's a very sad time, they don't want to say anything at the moment, we are all so sad, it's such an awful thing to have happened.
"It's a 40mph limit on that road, but so many cars go much too fast, often much faster than the speed limit. It really needs to be stopped or more children will also be killed."
The four-year-old had been crossing the road on Sunday with his mum when he was hit by a car.
The family had just been to a nearby KFC and were heading home when the tragedy happened.
