Fundraiser reaches £20,000 for funeral of 11-year-old cyclist who died in Whitburn collision with bus

Over £20,000 has been raised in memory of a "precious little boy" who tragically died following a collision with a bus in Whitburn.

Mason French, aged 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. In a moving tribute to Mason his auntie, Laura French, described him as "the little boy who first taught me unconditional love".

She wrote the moving message to her nephew on a GoFundMe page, which she set up to help the family cover the cost of Mason's funeral and celebrate his short life. The appeal, which was launched on Wednesday, aimed to raise £5,000 to support the family, but has already reached more than £20,000.
