THE family of an 11-year-old boy who died following a collision with a road sweeper in Purton last week have paid tribute to their son.

Daniel Climance was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision in Station Road on Wednesday, 10th June 2015.

His family wrote: "Daniel was a local Wiltshire lad who divided his time equally between his mum in North Swindon and his dad in Purton.

“He attended Bridlewood Primary School and was in his final year. He was looking forward to starting Bradon Forest School in September, joining his big brother Robbie at the school.

"Daniel played football for Wootton Bassett U11 team which he loved. He had just completed his second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do of which he was immensely proud.

"Daniel was a beautiful, loving child with a fantastic sense of humour, caring and loving, with a wide circle of friends.

"He will be sadly missed by his brothers Robbie, George and Noah and all of the extended family."

An inquest into Daniel's death has now been opened and adjourned.
