North Wales Six-Year-Old Boy Killed in Crash Was ‘Full of Character’
The appeal will help pay funeral and memorial costs and cover rent, bills and food as Harrison’s parents grieve.
On Thursday, October 1, six-year-old Harrison Glynne Jones died after being struck by a white Ford Transit Tipper on Mill Road in Llanfairfechan. The incident occurred at approximately 5pm outside his home.
North Wales Police arrested a 39-year-old local man on suspicion of driving offences and released him under investigation. Detective Inspector Tim Evans is appealing for witnesses or CCTV footage from Pen y Bryn Road and Mill Road.
The local community is "hurting" following the tragedy, with The Llanfair Arms remaining closed as a mark of respect. Residents described the boy as a "very special little boy" who was "loved more deeply than words could ever express."
Relative Kate Jones established a GoFundMe page to support the family with funeral and essential costs. The appeal has raised £21,463, which will help the parents navigate the "unimaginable task" of saying goodbye.
Hope Church opened on Friday afternoon to provide a space for reflection as the village mourns. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact North Wales Police, emphasizing that even small details could assist the ongoing investigation.
