'Our hearts have a hole that will never heal' - heartbroken mum of teen killed in M6 crash pays tribute

Ryan-Liam Morgan, 14, tragically lost his life on Easter Sunday and his dad was left in a serious condition in hospital.

Grieving mum Kim Morgan, who is originally from Lancaster, but now lives in Kendal, has said her family has been left in a pit of grief ever since her son Ryan-Liam’s death following the crash.

Lancashire Police said emergency services were called at just after 12.15pm on Sunday after a Peugeot van left the carriageway between southbound junctions 34 and 33, near Lancaster, and crashed into a tree. No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

Ryan-Liam who was a passenger in the van was declared dead at the scene.

His dad, who was driving the van, suffered serious injuries, and is now recovering in hospital.

Paying tribute, Kim said: “My beautiful boy Ryan-Liam was the most perfect precious little boy you would ever see and he grew to be more beautiful every day.

“He was the most amazing son and brother to Primrose and Summer and we will miss him as long as we live.

“Our hearts have a hole that will never heal, and we can’t express the devastation this has caused our family.

“Ryan, our precious boy. There truly is no one like our Ryan, such a beautiful soul and so far from typical.

“Words can't express how much we have loved and cherished him and how much we always will.

“The most funny, silly, loving, generous boy, who literally could not stop talking. He was always making his little sisters giggle or giving them cuddles when they were sad.

“He made them their bottles and read them stories at bedtime.”

She added: “He was such a family lad choosing to stay home with us sometimes when his friends wanted him to go out.

“He tried to put on a laddish attitude but it made us laugh because he was so soft, sensitive, kind and lovely.

“Every time he had pocket money he would go to the shop and buy everyone else treats and forget himself.

“He adored his dad and would stand at the window asking "when's dad coming back?" every five minutes.

“He would help his dad take off his work boots when his back was gone and ask how his day was.

“They loved playing Fortnite and arguing over who got what loot, watching Liverpool and Blackpool FC together, having wrestling matches and father-son talks about his love life.

“He would cuddle his mum and ask if she was ok when she looked stressed saying "oh mum I don't know how you cope with these kids, they're such hard work!

“He would follow mum around the kitchen when she was trying to do jobs showing her silly videos on YouTube and telling her about every little detail of his day.

“He welcomed so many people into our family life, most of all his big sister Cat who he was so close to. Telling tales on her, winding her up, begging her to go to the shop, play Xbox or cards with him, and most importantly having a friend to talk to about everything.

“Our home and our family will be so empty and quiet without him (singing Blackpool FC chants all day and night, making annoying noises to wind us up, or his new craze gangsta rapping).

“We wanted to see him grow and be the beautiful father and loving husband we knew he would have been.

“We are eternally heartbroken.

“RIP our perfect beautiful Ryan-Liam.”

She appealed to anyone who was on travelling on the motorway that day and witnessed anything or may have footage to get in touch.
