The mum of a toddler who died after a collision with a tractor has paid tribute to her 'little sunshine boy' who 'just wanted everyone to be happy'. Albie Speakman has today (July 17) been named as the three-year-old boy who suffered fatal injuries after the tragic incident on a farm off Bentley Hall Road, near Bury.
His family desperately tried to get the toddler to hospital on Saturday afternoon before flagging an ambulance on Rochdale Old Road at around 12.45pm, but Albie was sadly pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. In a statement, his mum Leah has shared her favourite memories with the toddler and says she will 'find a way to be strong' for her son.
Leah said: “Albie was an incredibly loving, affectionate and caring boy who just wanted everyone to be happy. He was so sensitive and wanted everyone to be ok, especially the people that he loved.
