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 Alana’s twin brother Finn who was a passenger suffered serious injuries and remain in hospital for treatment.
