Friends and family of Alain Pollock, 15, took to Facebook to post touching messages and condolences to him after hearing the news of his passing.
Alain was riding his skateboard out of a driveway onto Paris Road when he collided with a car.
Despite a desperate attempt by the driver and emergency services to save him, Alain sadly died of his injuries later that night in Royal Perth Hospital.
One friend described him as a fun-loving young man who loved basketball, staying up late, bike riding and making jokes in a post on his Facebook wall.
Another remembered him as a softly spoken, kind young man who was a great best friend, while others said he will never be forgotten.
Flowers, balloons and a teddy bear have been placed at the scene of the crash as a tribute.
Meanwhile, other members of the community took to Facebook to recognise the efforts of the driver and emergencies services in trying to save Alain’s life.
Shannon Stulik: R.I.P Alain never gonna forget all the times we had back in Adelaide when we first met and become best mates, you would take me to your basketball games at St Clair and I would watch, the times we used to crash at each others house and stay up late and make jokes and do random sh*t, the bikes rides, the movies, the fun, the laughter never will forget about you brother.
