A 16-year-old who died after he was hit by a car was a “special boy who had the biggest heart”, his mother has said.

Alfie Moran was struck while walking across Kingsway, in Burnage, Manchester, at about 18:40 GMT on Friday and later died from his injuries, Greater Manchester Police said.

An 18-year-old man who was arrested at the scene has since been released on bail.

In a tribute, Aflie’s mother said: “He was the best friend to everyone, losing him has left our family broken.”
