The family of Thomas Wong who died on Whitehouse Road on Friday say they are “utterly heartbroken”.
Thomas, who lived in Edinburgh, was riding his bicycle when he was involved in a collision with the driver of a bin lorry on Whitehouse Road near to the junction with Braehead Road, and close to the Royal Burgess Golf Club.
The eleven-year-old Cramond Primary School pupil died at the scene where local people and his friends have laid floral tributes in his memory.
The wee boy’s family has provided the following tribute to their son: “We are utterly heartbroken. Thomas was the perfect son. He was the best little brother to his older sister and was adored by all his family.
“Thomas went to Cramond Primary School which he loved. He made good friends there. We will all miss him terribly.
“We are very grateful for all the sympathy and heartfelt messages we have received from people. Thank you.”
