Parents of an 11-year-old boy who died after being hit by a lorry at a roundabout in Ongar, Essex, are campaigning for safety improvements at the crossing. The child, George Dennis, is reported to have been struck at about 4:20pm on 10 July at the Four Wantz roundabout while on a zebra crossing. After the collision, he is reported to have been taken to hospital, where he later died. The campaign calls for changes to the road layout, including the installation of traffic lights at the crossing area. The reports describe the roundabout and zebra crossing as part of a broader concern about “dangerous” conditions, and the family is seeking measures they believe could reduce the risk to pedestrians. The accounts focus on the circumstances of the incident and the parents’ efforts to press for engineering changes following the death. No additional confirmed details about speed, charges, or the investigation outcome are included in the provided sources.
