Devastated family pay tribute to boy, 12, killed in horror crash and say ‘no words can describe our pain’

TRIBUTES have been paid to a "beautiful" 12-year-old boy killed in a horror crash.

Harrison Palmer was declared dead at the scene in Pool, Cornwall, following the single-vehicle collision.

His heartbroken family have now paid tribute following the tragedy on Monday.

They said: "We are devastated and truly heartbroken over the loss of our beautiful boy Harrison. No words can describe our pain.

“We want to thank all of the emergency services and members of the community who did all they could.

“We are also very grateful for the love, support and condolences that we have received since.”

Police scrambled to the scene on the A3047 at around 3.35pm.

A 67-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention and on suspicion of driving whilst unfit.

He has since been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.

The crash is still being investigated by Devon and Cornwall Police.
