Fundraiser for 'one in a million' father hit by car raises nearly £8,000 in 48 hours
A fundraiser for a popular father who was killed whilst having a drink on a pavement has raised nearly £8,000 in 48 hours.
Aiden Perris died when a car left the road and hit him in Boldmere Road, Sutton Coldfield, on Thursday night, July 25.
Another man was injured and a 31-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving was later released under investigation.
Shocked friends and family deluged social media with tributes to the married father of two boys who launched a transport service for elderly and vulnerable people in Great Barr, North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield called Driving Miss Daisy with his wife two years ago.
Aiden's brother Darrin posted the fundraiser on Facebook: "A car mounted the pavement where he was sitting having a drink. He sadly died at the scene. A huge loss to his young boys 11 and 15. This fundraiser is to help his wife and boys. Thank you."
