Four-year-old boy hit and killed by a car in North St Marys is identified
- Young boy, Ace, killed after being hit by a car
- A GoFundMe was launched to support his family
A four-year-old child who died after being hit by a car has been remembered as the ‘sweetest, kindest boy’.
Ace was hit by a Ford sedan on Glossop Street in North St Marys, in Sydney’s west, about 12.05am on Monday.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated him at the scene but he died on the way to hospital.
The male driver was taken to Nepean Hospital for mandatory tests and a crime scene was established.
A friend of Ace’s family launched one GoFundMe hours after the incident to help his heartbroken parents and older sister cover funeral costs.
“Ace was the sweetest and kind-hearted boy, who loved playing with his cars and dinosaurs and spending time with the people he loved,” the fundraising page reads.
“His bright light will not be forgotten and the world seems darker without him.”
She added that Ace will be the first thing his family thinks of when they wake up and the last thing they remember before falling asleep.

An investigation has been launched into the incident.
Video from the scene showed detectives at a blond brick building on the street.
The crash happened just before a separate incident in which a 12-year-old boy was run over by a car in a driveway on Greenacre Road in Greenacre at 12.30pm.
He suffered leg injuries and blood loss and was taken to Westmead Children’s Hospital in a stable condition.
