A six-year-old girl dies following a road collision involving a car and a tractor in Warwickshire. Police say the incident happened at around 5pm on Friday on the B4455 east of Stratford-upon-Avon, on the road between the turning for Compton Verney and the Five Ways roundabout near the B4100 Banbury Road. Emergency services were called after reports of a crash involving a Volkswagen Tiguan and a tractor.
The girl was taken to hospital with serious head injuries. An air ambulance attended and transported her for treatment. Police later confirmed that she died the following morning. Police say the other young passengers in the Volkswagen were “shaken up but uninjured,” and that both the car driver and tractor driver escaped without injury.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the collision and are supporting the girl’s family with specially trained officers.
