A six-year-old girl has died after being hit by a car driven
by her mother.
Bolutito Shodipe was struck by the car, which her mother was
parking outside West Hounslow tube station, at about 09:40 BST on Wednesday.
Attempts were made to resuscitate her at the scene but she
was later pronounced dead at hospital. A statement from Bolutito's family said
they were "coming to terms with this terrible accident".
They added: "Bolutito was our eldest daughter and no-one
could have asked for a better daughter. "She was a beautiful, well behaved
girl who loved ballet and who will be sorely missed by all of us."
Det Ch Insp Iain Miller, from British Transport Police, said:
"It is clear that both mother and child arrived together in the car park
and the accident occurred during a parking manoeuvre."
Police are investigating the incident.
