An 11-year-old girl has tragically died after being struck by a wheel which came off a passing car.
Amelia Wood was killed after being hit from behind. The front nearside wheel of the Discovery came off the vehicle at around 8am on Tuesday.
The tragic incident took place in Manby and the young girl, despite being taken to Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, died. The Year 7 schoolgirl's pupils and teachers organised special assemblies today.
They were led by principals of the schools and a specialist family liaison officer from Lincolnshire Police with support from pastoral teams. Lincolnshire Police are continuing their investigation into the collision between the loose wheel and the girl as she walked from her home towards Manby crossroads and this morning released a statement on behalf of the schoolgirl's family and included a photograph.
A forensic examination is being undertaken into the modified vehicle with its 33in wheels, <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
