Thousands of pounds have been raised to support the family of a little boy who tragically died after he was hit by a bus while riding his bike in Whitburn.
Mason French, 11, was riding his bicycle on Lizard Lane at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, October 25 when he was involved in a collision with a bus and sadly died at the scene. Tributes left at the side of the road on Wednesday described Mason as a "beautiful little boy" and said he will never be forgotten.
A Go Fund Me appeal has now been set up by Mason's auntie, Laura French, in order to help his parents cover the costs of his funeral. The appeal, which was launched on Wednesday, aimed to raise £5,000 to support the family, but has already reached more than £15,000 as donations pour in from heartbroken friends and members of the community.
