The family of toddler Teddy Britten-Goddard, tragically killed in car crash, have paid tribute to their "gorgeous boy".

The family of 18-month-old Teddy Britten-Goddard - who was tragically killed in a crash on the A303 last month - have paid tribute to their "gorgeous boy". The toddler passed away after an incident on March 28 on the busy route, near Amesbury, Wiltshire.

"It’s with a truly broken heart that I say this but our gorgeous boy gained his wings today," the family said. "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."

Four people – including two boys aged five and one – were injured in the crash, which saw a grey Skoda Karoq collide with a white Peugeot 208 on the eastbound A303.

After colliding with the Skoda, the Peugeot then spun onto the westbound carriageway and crashed head-on with a silver Volvo V70 near the Bulford junction.

The Peugeot was being driven by a woman in her 20s who suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Volvo, a man in his 70s, suffered minor injuries.

A Go Fund Me was later launched to help Teddy’s family cover costs. "The money will continue to be used to cover these every day costs until things become more stable," it said.

"Some of the funds will be used to provide Teddy and his family with the best farewell possible. Any money remaining will be donated to Ronald McDonald house and the paediatric unit who did a wonderful job at looking after Teddy and supporting the family."
