The family of a little girl who died after a collision between two cars in the Ribble Valley have paid a heartbreaking tribute to her.
They said: “On Tuesday afternoon our lives were changed forever. We lost our beautiful, fun, perfect little princess.
“She will forever be missed but never forgotten by mum, Natalie, dad, Andrew, twin brother Finn and everyone who was lucky enough to meet her.
“We are beyond broken-hearted without her, she was our loving bundle of energy and joy.”
Five-year-old Alana Moscrop was a passenger in a Skoda Karoq when she was seriously injured after it collided with a Volkswagen Golf R on the A59 near to the old council yard last Thursday (21st May.)
Very sadly, despite the best efforts of the emergency services and medical staff, Alana died in hospital on Tuesday.
The driver of the Skoda – a woman in her 60s, and a five-year-old boy, who was a passenger suffered serious injuries and remain in hospital for treatment.
The driver of the Volkswagen, a man in his 20s also suffered serious injuries, and remains in hospital. He is being treated as a witness in the investigation.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said; ‘’Alana’s family are being supported by specially-trained Family Liaison Officers, and all those who knew and loved her. It’s clear from their tribute just how loved and adored she was, and it is devastating news that she has died.
‘’They have understandably been asked for privacy at this terrible time, and we ask that people please respect that.
‘’Our enquiries into the collision are very much ongoing, and we are continuing to appeal for anyone with information or footage that could help us.
‘’Whilst we are appealing for information, we also make a request that this is passed on through the appropriate channels, and people refrain from speculating online or otherwise.
‘’Please remember that a little girl has lost her life, and a little boy and two adults remain injured. This collision has and will continue to effect real people – and seeing unnecessary speculation online will only make matters more distressing for them.’’
If you do have information or footage, please call 101 or email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk quoting log 0986 of 21st May.
