Family pay tribute to 'caring boy' killed in crash

Ryan Marshall's family described him as a "lovely, caring boy"

The family of a 15-year-old who died when he was hit by a car have described him as a "lovely, caring boy".

Pedestrian Ryan Marshall was killed when he was hit by a silver Ford Fiesta in New Street, Andover, Hampshire, at 18:00 GMT on Saturday.

The teenager was taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries on Sunday.

A 29-year-old woman from Andover, arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs, has been released from custody but remains under police investigation into the crash.

In a statement released through Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, Ryan's mother said: "Ryan was a lovely, caring boy with a cheeky smile and wicked, cheeky sense of humour.

"He was loved so much by me, the family and everyone who knew him. We are all very heartbroken that he was taken from us."

A force spokesman said: "Specialist officers are supporting Ryan's family as detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit continue to investigate the incident.

"We are still appealing for any witnesses to please come forward and speak to police.

"Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you were driving through the area and may have dashcam footage which captured something?"
