Heartbreaking Loss: Young Brothers Tragically Killed in Cornwall Crash 💔
In a devastating incident during half term, two young brothers, Tobias and Finley Rice, lost their lives in a tragic accident on the A30 in Cornwall. En route to St Ives, the boys were involved in a multi-vehicle collision near Connor Downs.
Tobias, aged eight, tragically passed away at the scene. His younger brother, five-year-old Finley, was rushed to Bristol Children’s Hospital, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries days later.
Hailing from Christchurch, Dorset, the boys left a lasting impact on everyone they met. Their parents express that their sons were “full of life and energy,” actively embracing their love for school and scouting. Tobias had just progressed to cubs, while Finley was soon to join beavers. Their kindness and caring nature have left an indelible mark on their family and friends.
The family is now left navigating life with an unimaginable void. They kindly request privacy as they grieve this tragic loss and extend heartfelt thanks to the emergency services and NHS South West for their support.
A local man in his 60s has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. The police are continuing their investigation, and anyone with information is urged to contact 101, using reference 50260136471.
Our thoughts are with Tobias and Finley’s family, friends, and school community during this incredibly difficult time. Please send your love and support as they work through this immense tragedy. 🙏✨ #RestInPeace #BrothersGoneTooSoon
