She was also arrested on suspicion of a driving offence and has been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
Heartbroken family members have now paid tribute to the young boy from Hampshire.
His father, Josh Roe, said: “Words cannot describe the pain I’m feeling, my heart is broken. You are my little angel. I love you more than anything in this world, you are my best buddy.”

Zac’s grandfather Chris Roe added: “Zac, there are just no words to find. I just want to thank you for the wonderful and fun filled memories we shared on your short journey of your life.
“You were taken too soon, but memories will last us a lifetime. We will never stop loving you. Your smile and laughter still echoes around my and everyone’s heart. Sweet dreams our little angel.”
Emergency services raced to the A354 at East Woodyates, north Dorset, at 5.21pm on Monday after hearing about the tragic accident.
They found a grey Citroen DS9, a white Ford Transit Van and a DAF cattle transporter vehicle and trailer in a smashed heap by the road.
