Heartbreaking news from Derby—11-year-old Seth Fulton tragically lost his life in a bus crash while trying to reach his mum. On that fateful April day, Seth was cycling along Nottingham Road in Chaddesden and attempted to cross when it wasn’t safe. He was struck by a bus, which then threw him into the path of an approaching VW Polo.
The coroner’s report confirmed there was little chance for the drivers to avoid him, and sadly, Seth succumbed to his injuries later that day at the Queen’s Medical Centre. The inquest ruled his death as a road traffic collision caused by a traumatic head injury.
Seth’s family describes him as a boy bursting with life, a lover of wildlife, and someone who cherished his friends dearly. They said, “Everyone who met Seth will never forget him.”
Our thoughts are with Seth’s family and everyone affected by this devastating event. His vibrant spirit and adventurous nature will be remembered always. 💔✨
