More than a dozen flowers have been placed in memory of Ben opposite Yateley Common, on the A30 London Road, where the collision took place.
A letter placed with the flowers read: "Ben, you was such a lovely boy and we finally got to a good place. You were doing so well with your life.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you and I'm sorry we didn't get a good bye. Thinking of you always. Katelynn."
