£1,000 raised towards funeral costs so Kyle 'gets send off he deserves'
A fundraising appeal to help with funeral costs for the family of a man who was killed in a car crash in Walsall has been started by one of his friends.
.
The accident happened on April 9 and Mr Bullock was confirmed dead at the scene.
Since then tributes have poured in at the scene of the crash, with flowers, cards and balloons left by residents wishing to pass on their sympathies to the family of Mr Bullock.
Now a page has been set up on online fundraising site Go Fund Me by Jake Perkins, a friend of Mr Bullock's, in order to give him 'the send off he deserves'.
In just over a week, more than £1,000 has been raised by 57 donors, pushing the campaign towards its £5,000 goal.
Writing on the web page, Jake said: "I am trying to raise money for my best friend's funeral and take some ease off his family in this hard time.
"Please keep sharing and donating for Kyle as it will help his family give him the best send off he deserves."
Tributes paid by those who have donated have sent messages of condolence to Kyle's family. Cheryl Franklin said: "Rip Kyle taken way too young back in the arms of your loving mother sleep tight mate thoughts with your family."
Charlie Jones wrote: "RIP mate, known by myself and all my family and were all shocked he's gone, thinking of his family."
Tributes released by Mr Bullock's family after his death called him a 'loving brother, nephew and a father'. A tribute, released by West Midlands Police said he 'never got over losing' his mother.
A 28-year-old man who was driving the car was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released on bail pending further inquiries. Another passenger, a man aged 20, remains in a critical condition in hospital. The van driver was unhurt.
