A 10-year-old girl and a 66-year-old man have died after a car crash on Boxing Day. Six other people were injured in the crash on the A166, Garrowby Street, near the villages of Garrowby and Bishop Wilton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The girl, who was travelling in a blue Skoda, was taken to hospital where she died a short time later.
She has been named as Abbie Wilson, who came from Bradford. Talking about Abbie, her family said: “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.” The man, who was driving a black Audi, died at the scene, according to Humberside Police. He is yet to be named.
Both of their families are being supported by specially trained officers, police said. Abbie’s family have asked for privacy at this difficult time. Advertisement
Police said it was thought the Skoda was travelling from the coast and the Audi from the York area.
The crash happened just before 5pm.
They asked anyone who saw the vehicles before the crash, or who has dashcam footage from the area at the time, to get in touch.
