‘He was truly the sweetest most loving little character that we were blessed to have. Our hearts are shattered into pieces.

‘Teddy Jason this isn’t a goodbye just a see you later.’

A GoFundMe page has been set up by the family and has already raised nearly £5,000.

It reads: ‘As most of you are aware my brother, his partner and their kids were involved in a car crash leaving his partner with serious injuries and his 1 year old boy fighting for his life.

‘Unfortunately due to his injuries Teddy has now passed away.

‘This will continue to result in missed days at work while still having to cover every day costs, which is definitely adding up.

‘The money will continue to be used to cover these every day costs until things become more stable. Some of the funds will be used to provide Teddy and his family with the best farewell possible.

‘Any money remain will be donated to Ronald McDonald house and the paediatric unit who did a wonderful job at looking after Teddy and supporting the family

‘Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It is appreciated.’ 

Wiltshire Police said the day after the smash: ‘The incident took place at around 5.30pm near the Bulford junction, east of Amesbury.

‘A grey Skoda Karoq has joined the A303 eastbound at the Amesbury Road junction and has collided with a white Peugeot 208 travelling in the same direction.

‘This has caused the Peugeot to spin onto the westbound carriageway through the gap in the barriers for the Allington track, colliding head on with a silver Volvo V70 travelling in the opposite direction.

‘The driver of the Peugeot, a woman in her 20s, suffered injuries which are serious but not thought to be life-threatening.
