PARENTS of the siblings who died on Monday afternoon after they were involved in a crash on the A36 have paid heart wrenching tributes.

Jackson Watters, 17, and his 12-year-old sister, Millie, both died at the scene when Jackson’s Ford Fiesta collided with a Mercedes Sprinter van at 3.25pm as they were driving home from Kingdown School.

The mum and dad of the popular youngsters have paid touching tributes and shared their heartbreak.

Mum Salli Grant, 53, said: "On October 10 my world ended when my two beautiful children were so tragically taken from me.

“Jackson was my gorgeous, handsome young man, so gentle and caring, my 'man of the house'.

“We shared a special bond that could never have been broken. He wrote about that bond in my last birthday card.

“My darling boy I will love and worship you for the rest of my life.

“My stunningly beautiful little girl Millie, or Moppet, my little best friend. We would talk and laugh for hours at a time.

“Mischievous, cheeky, a comic genius with a love for singing. Millie hated injustice and such a mature caring girl.

“My heart will bleed until the day we are reunited."

Wiltshire Police closed the road for six hours after the collision and investigations are being carried out to find out how it happened. The 45-year-old driver of the van was taken to Salisbury District Hospital with relatively minor injuries.

Steve Watters, 47, dad of Jackson, said: "My heart is completely broken. Jackson was what I lived for, he brought such joy and love to my life and I can’t think of life without him.

“He is the sweetest, politest, caring, loving young man who had dreams for the future.

“The times we shared were the best with such laughs, excitement and love.

“I have nothing now, please come home son. I love you always, I am so proud of you and the man you’ve become. Forever in my heart. I love you so so much son, always and forever.”
