A six-year-old girl was killed in a horror crash yesterday after being hit by a car as she attempted to cross a road in Slough.
Emergency services raced to Cippenham Lane at 6.17pm after the young primary school pupil was hurt in a crash with a white Volkswagen Passat.
She suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Wexham Park Hospital for treatment but tragically died.
Her next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers, detectives have revealed today.
No arrests have been made and an investigation into the incident is taking place.

“Her next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers and our thoughts are with them at this time.
“I would like to speak to anyone who was driving in the area at the time, or who saw this incident or who has any dash cam footage.
