Sutton-in-Ashfield is mourning the heartbreaking death of seven-year-old Logan Parker following a fatal collision on the A38 Kings Mill Road East, near Kingfisher Way, on Tuesday, March 10, at approximately 8:26 p.m. Emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of a car striking the young boy, but sadly, Logan was pronounced dead at the scene.

Paying tribute to her son, Logan’s mother shared a heartfelt statement: “In memory of a boy who will remain seven forever. Always unconditionally loved and cherished, you will never, ever be forgotten. You were the most beautiful, happy, and mischievous boy – full of love, light, and adventure. Your cheeky grin, giggles, dancing, and singing will forever echo through my soul. We will miss you so much. Rest, my super angel. Your memory will live on forever. This is not goodbye but a ‘see you soon.’ Love from mum and family.”

Detective Inspector Jamie Moore of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit emphasized the gravity of the incident: “This is a devastating incident, and our thoughts are with Logan’s family, friends, and loved ones. We are investigating the circumstances and ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this difficult time.
