Ben Peak

Partington, Manchester | Died in 2008

Remembering eight-year-old Ben Peak who died in a road accident on 7 June, 2008.

Ben died alongside his 10-year-old brother Ben when their family car was in collision with another vehichle.

Their father Philip, 37, was injured in the incident which happened on the southbound carriageway of the M1 in Staffordshire between junctions 15 and 16.

He suffered a suspected broken back and neck and was taken to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

The family, from Manchester, were on a day out to Silverstone racetrack in Northamptonshire. They were travelling in a Toyota Previa with friends when it was in collision with another vehicle.

A family statement said Arron "loved life, especially football, at which he excelled" and Ben was a "happy, loving son and brother".

The driver of the other vehicle has been charged with various offences in connection with the incident, including death by dangerous driving.

Your Memories

I remember both Ben and Aaron to be two of the nicest children you could ever have known My thoughts go to Amanda and Phil in this time of sorrow May God bless you both Susan Ganner — 09.09.2008
I have no memories of these two children, only memories of my own children. I heard about Ben and Arron today when their parents were speaking bravely on the radio of their two wonderful sons. My heart went out to them, and I placed myself in their shoes and felt their pain should it have happened to me.

I just want to say I feel genuiningly sad and distraught at hearing about their deaths and if it were me, I would have wished to have died with them.

May the children remain in the embrace of the angels until their courageous parents do join them.

Love and Light,
Wendy Tunnard.
