A DEVASTATED family have paid tribute to a 15-year-old boy killed in a crash between a car and two motorbikes.
Four people on the bikes were wounded during the collision in Doncaster on Wednesday afternoon – and one lad remains in hospital.
South Yorkshire Police said a black Skoda Karoq, a grey Daelim LV 125 motorbike and a grey Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorbike were involved in the crash at 4.15pm on Broadway, in the Dunscroft area.
The victim was named as Harvey Smith by family and friends, who confirmed his death last night.
His cousin, Keeley Smith shared: “My heart’s been ripped out. Why is life so cruel – my poor Harvey Smith.
“You was too good for anybody and anything on this Earth – heart of pure gold.
“I’ll make sure my children never forget you. Your memory will live on forever. Until we meet again you little terror, gonna miss you bad my Harvey.”
Another wrote: “I love you Harvey Smith – you came into my life and never left through the good days, the bad days, the days I didn’t want to get out of bed.
“You were always there talking my ear off whether we was together or over the phone you may be gone but your spirit and love will forever be in my heart, thank you for been there through everything.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better brother not by blood but at heart you always told me there was so much more to life than sadness so I’m going to live my life the best I can for you, you were such an amazing blessing in my life and I’m so blessed to have got to love you like a brother, till we meet again see you on the other side.”
Another friend shared: “Can’t belive I’m having to say this, God takes the best of people – always will be thinking of you Harvey Smith.
“Rest in peace, may you have the best bed up there bro you don’t deserve none of this either dose your family rest in peace my brother,” another tribute said.
“RIP Harvey – what a lovely young boy he was only a baby gone too soon, God give you a good bed in heaven,” wrote another.
A spokesperson for the force previously confirmed the 15-year-old boy who was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries died on Thursday.
A 14-year-old boy who suffered potentially life-changing injuries remains in hospital, they added.
The other two people on the motorbikes sustained minor injuries.
