A schoolboy cyclist was killed just yards from his home in a horrific accident on a busy road.
Brian Mulenga, 13, was rushed to Southend Hospital with severe head injuries after the collision with a car in Eastern Avenue, Southend.
Brian died hours later with his devastated parents at his bedside.
Police said the accident happened when the schoolboy was crossing the busy dual-carriageway just yards from his home in Cromwell Road.
The victim was in collision with a red Mercedes convertible, driven by a 32-year-old local woman, on the London-bound carriageway just after 1pm yesterday, police said.
