Girl, 6, dies after crash between tractor and car

A six-year-old girl has died after a car and a tractor crashed on a road in Warwickshire.

The girl was taken to hospital with head injuries after the incident, which took place at around 5pm on Friday, but died the following morning.

Emergency services were called to the scene after reports of a crash between a Volkswagen Tiguan and a tractor on the B4455 east of Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Two young passengers in the VW were ‘shaken up but uninjured’, Warwickshire Police said, while the drivers of the car and tractor both also escaped uninjured.

In a statement, the force said: ‘We were called to a report of a collision involving the drivers of a tractor and a VW Tiguan on the stretch of road between the turning for Compton Verney and the Five Ways roundabout (near the B4100 Banbury Road).

‘Officers attended along with the ambulance service and the air ambulance, who took a six-year-old girl with serious head injuries to hospital.

‘Sadly, she died the following morning and her family is being supported by specially trained officers.’
