Harry Dennis died from his injuries after the collision in Hooe, East Sussex, in December 2022.
A van driver has been jailed for four years after failing to secure a scaffolding board which struck the windscreen of a car and left an 11-year-old boy dead. Russell Le Beau, 34, from Eastbourne, was driving his van on Top Road in Hooe, East Sussex, when a collision took place at around 3pm on 15 December 2022. He had not secured scaffolding boards on the van properly, causing one of them to become suspended in mid-air at an angle across the carriageway in the opposite direction.
The HSE report concluded that load security on the vehicle was 'grossly inadequate' and Le Beau had not followed the safe loading of scaffolding guidance. Le Beau pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving before he was sentenced to four years in prison and was disqualified from driving for seven years. Tribute from boy's mother Harry's mother Maria Dennis said after the case: 'Harry was our beautiful son with the biggest of smiles and the biggest of hearts.
