A 16-year-old boy who died following a collision on Kingsway in Burnage has been named as Alfie Moran, as his devastated family pay tribute to a “special boy with the biggest heart”.

Alfie was a pedestrian when he was struck by a vehicle on Friday 2 January. He suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital, but sadly died later the same day.

His mother described Alfie as “the best friend to everyone” and said the loss had left the family broken.

“My Alfie boy was always our special boy with the biggest heart. Everyone who knew him would always tell me that I had the best boy,” she said.

“He knew how very proud I was of him. We had so much planned this year, he loved gaming and motorbikes and had already started saving up to buy his first bike. I will forever be lost without him.”

Greater Manchester Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is continuing its enquiries into the incident and is appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant footage to come forward.

Anyone who saw the incident, or who has dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage from the area at the time, is asked to contact GMP on 0161 856 4741 quoting log 2622 of 02/01/2026.
