A car collided with a parked lorry at a layby near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, killing an 11-year-old kid.
Around 7.30 p.m. yesterday, emergency personnel were called to the site on the A303.
In a layby on the westbound carriageway, they discovered a black BMW that had hit the back of a lorry.
The young Londoner was pronounced dead there and then.
Wiltshire Police said the driver of the car, a man in his 40s, and a passenger, a 15-year-old boy, had been taken to Southampton General Hospital after suffering potentially life-changing injuries. Both are also from London.
The driver of the lorry was not injured in the incident.
The A303 eastbound has now reopened, police said, but the westbound carriageway remains closed.
Acting Inspector Will Ayres of the Roads Policing Unit said: ‘This is a tragic incident where a young boy has lost his life and two more people are in a serious condition in hospital.
‘Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
‘I would urge anyone who witnessed anything to please get in touch with us.’
