TRIBUTES HAVE BEEN paid to the 10-year-old boy killed during a family holiday in Tenerife by a hit-and-run driver.
Carter Carson died in hospital on Friday nearly 24 hours after he was struck by a car outside a shopping centre in Adeje in the south of the island.
Family friend Charlene Dinnen has already raised more than £4,000 towards his funeral costs this morning after launching an appeal on crowdfunding site Just Giving.
She said: “It breaks my heart to say this but I am trying to raise money to help friends Stuart Carson and partner Clair as on Thursday what started out as a family holiday in Tenerife soon turned into a terrible tragedy when young Carter Carson was struck by a hit-and-run driver.
“Carter was taken to hospital where doctors tried their best but unfortunately they couldn’t save him and Carter passed away on Friday. Carter was a happy-go-lucky wee boy who just loved his footy like his daddy and his grandad.
“I can’t even put into words how heartbreaking this is. Sleep tight wee man.”
Carter’s football club 18th Newtownabbey Youth FC said in a statement first posted on Saturday morning: “It is with deepest condolences and heavy hearts we as a club are saddened to hear to of the tragic passing of young Carter Carson this morning.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his friends at the club.”
Carter was from Newtownabbey near Belfast but is believed to have been travelling on an Irish passport.
Police investigating the hit-and-run spent yesterday afternoon quizzing several people including a suspect after seizing a red Alfa Romeo believed to be the car that hit Carter.
Spain’s Interior Minister confirmed two people have been arrested over the hit-and-run death.
Juan Ignacio Zoido said this morning: “Police have arrested two men over their alleged links to the fatal running-over of a boy in Tenerife. Once again the public’s help has been fundamental. Thanks for all your help.”
Police were not able to offer any more details about the identities of the two detainees.
A well-placed source said they were expected to appear in court tomorrow.
An investigating judge tasked with the criminal probe into the incident has placed a secrecy order on the case.
The move, standard procedure in Spain in the early stages of an investigation, prevents officials from making detailed comment about cases so as not to hinder the judicial investigation.

@Garry Coll: militia? Would you call white people that are breaking no laws whilr carrying an election ooster the same name? Funny thing is Abrams wants more gun control and they know it. They might as well grab a sec9nd sogn that says ‘This should be illegal, but its not’
@Tommy Roche: According to the Washington Post he dose not seem to see any difference on legal or illegal immigrants.

@Damien Hawe: Yup..and a few lucky people can become citizens by getting the ‘Einstein Visa’..hmmmm..is there anyone in Trumps family that has benefited by that visa.Or by the chain migration one..?
@Tommy Roche: you know that caravan he keeps banging on about? Not illegal. His rhetoric may change that though, if he continues to tell people that legal entry will be met woth military opposition then perhaps they’ll condmsider illegal entry on his advice
No, nothing to do with us.
America has made their choice, life goes on.
Although it is good to see a shake up in electoral terms, it’s only a pity Ireland couldn’t follow suit.
@Trevor Hayden: Playing dumb and being dumb are two different things but maybe you are just playing dumb again? Keep at it and you might convince us of the other option.
@A Sharks Tempo: Yeah , I bet the people of Libya are wishing her that. As are Wall Street, the group she assured that “I have one view for the public but a private position for you” , when it comes to Wall Street reform.
@The Quare Fella: lol, you got that quote wrong by the way. It was about have a public face and a provate face, not view. Everybody has a public and private face. Especially politicians.
@The Quare Fella: sorry, my bad, you just invented the quote based on a hint of something she once said. She said you need a public and private stance on issues. Which when you consider that politicians represent constituents rather than themselves makes perfect sense.
A win for Republicans could see Trump become even more “aggressive” in behavior right and act. But a loss might lead to greater petulance from Trump. Neither is good.
