A devastated family has paid tribute to a “loving” one-year-old toddler who tragically died in a horror motorway crash that saw four others injured.
Toddler Teddy Jason was left fighting for his life after the white Peugeot he was travelling in collided with a Volvo on the A303 near Amesbury on Friday. According to police, the two vehicles crashed after a Skoda joined onto the A303 eastbound at the Amesbury Road junction. A woman in her 20s, who was driving the vehicle, endured serious injuries, while two others – another passenger in the car, aged five, and the driver of the Volvo, sustained minor injuries. Teddy’s heartbroken mum paid tribute to the beloved one-year-old, saying her “darling Teddy” will be missed.
She wrote: “As many saw the last post about my gorgeous boy I thought it was only right to keep you updated. My darling boy gained his wings and is now at peace. We will obviously use the go fund me to give him the best possible send off possible. Thank you to everyone that reached out to me from the last post wishing us well. Your love wasn’t and isn’t unnoticed. Teddy you will be missed my darling.”
The mum said: “It’s with a truly broken heart that I say this but our gorgeous boy gained his wings today. He was truly the sweetest most loving little character that we were blessed to have. Our hearts are shattered into pieces. Teddy Jason this isn’t a goodbye just a see you later.”
The family launched a GoFundMe page which has raised almost £5,000. It reads: “As most of you are aware my brother, his partner and their kids were involved in a car crash leaving his partner with serious injuries and his 1 year old boy fighting for his life.
“Unfortunately due to his injuries Teddy has now passed away. This will continue to result in missed days at work while still having to cover every day costs, which is definitely adding up. The money will continue to be used to cover these every day costs until things become more stable. Some of the funds will be used to provide Teddy and his family with the best farewell possible.
“Any money remain will be donated to Ronald McDonald house and the paediatric unit who did a wonderful job at looking after Teddy and supporting the family. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It is appreciated.”
