Nottinghamshire Police officers in the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses and anyone driving in the vicinity at the time to contact them
A young child has died following a collision with a car in a UK village. Emergency services were called to Nottingham Road in Gotham, Nottinghamshire, at 2.28pm on Sunday, July 12.
Tragically, the four-year-old girl died a short time later in hospital. A 59-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been questioned and bailed.
The investigation is being led by Nottinghamshire Police officers in the Serious Collision Investigation Unit who are appealing for witnesses and anyone driving in the vicinity at the time who may have captured footage on dash cam, to contact them.
Sergeant Paul Clark said: “This is a deeply tragic incident and our thoughts are with the young girl’s loved ones at this unimaginably difficult time.
“The circumstances are being investigated and we would ask people not to speculate on social media. I would also ask the privacy of the family is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.
“We’d like to appeal for any witnesses to this incident to please come forward, including anyone with dashcam footage which could help our investigation.
“If you have any information in relation to this incident, please get in contact with us quoting incident 424 of 12 July.”
Meanwhile, a man suspected of murdering Ann Widdecombe is a quiet loner who rarely left his house, neighbours said today.
The unnamed suspect, 28, was arrested on Saturday night in Rotherham, South Yorks., almost 300 miles from where the veteran political figure was bludgeoned to death in Devon.
One neighbour said they heard a police helicopter was hovering quite a distance away at around 7.30pm on Saturday. They said: “Then the next minute I saw a police marked van and an unmarked car and that’s when they took him.”
The neighbour added: “I was up all night and they were taking pictures, the forensics for ages. The family who lived there were quiet.”
