The girl, who died in a collision on Tuesday, was named by her family as Abbie Wilson from Bradford.

Abbie had been travelling in a blue Skoda Kodiaq when she was involved in a collision with a black Audi on Garrowby Street (A166) shortly before 5pm.

She was taken to hospital but died a short time later. A 66-year-old man also died at the scene following the crash.

Abbie's family paid tribute saying: "Abbie was such a lovable young girl.

"She would constantly have us looking at houses she would find on the internet, describing her dream home for when she grew up.

"We will miss her so much."
