The family and friends of six-year-old Jackson Donovan, who was tragically killed in a horror crash in Rockingham on Friday, have created a GoFundMe page to support the devastated parents during this “unfathomable time.”

The primary school student’s mum Klara Donovan had just picked up her little boy, who was the “most hilarious, smart, sweet, kid,” from school with his younger sister Rosie, when the tragedy unfolded on Friday afternoon in East Rockingham.

The family were caught up in a four-vehicle pile-up when a 64-year-old driver — who is believed to have suffered from a medical episode — rear-ended the family’s black Kia slamming them into the back of a Transperth bus.

Another vehicle then crashed into the wreckage.

The crash was so severe the six-year-old was airlifted to Perth Children’s Hospital.

After a gruelling two days, little Jackson lost his fight for life after his parents made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off his life support on Sunday.

A friend of the family has created a fundraiser for the grieving couple to cover the boy’s funeral costs and “loss of work” as a result of the crash.

The West Online's Kate Phillips has the details.
