Connor was part of a group of 10 people injured when a car crashed into them at the car meet, which he travelled to in his Nissan Micra K11.
Unfortunately, Connor sustained serious injuries and was put into an induced coma at Hull Royal Infirmary, but tragically could not be saved.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested by Humberside Police soon after the collision on suspicion of dangerous driving, but has since been released under investigation.
