Two-year-old girl from London dies after being hit by car at Cambridgeshire holiday park

A two-year-old girl has died after being hit by a car at a countryside holiday park.

Isabella Tucker was fatally injured in a crash at Horsley Hale Farm, near Ely in Cambridgeshire at about 6.45pm on Friday.

The toddler, of Ronald Street in central London, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn in Norfolk but died of her injuries.

It is understood she and her family had been taking a holiday at the glamping site at the time of the accident.

Her mother Vaida Sprainyte said in a tribute to her daughter: “A beautiful daughter and little sister.

"It’s so easy to love you. Loved you from first sight and will love you forever”.

A 42-year-old woman from the Leeds area was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving, and has been bailed until 24 November.

There's just one narrow country road leading in and out of this peaceful holiday park in the countryside on the Cambridgeshire-Norfolk border.

The only thing disturbing the near-silence is the entry or exit of an occasional car, or the sound of a train on the line that runs through the nearby fields.

The camp is surrounded by trees, fields and greenery and, in the distance, children can be heard playing.

It's clearly usually a place of peace and quiet, and somewhere for families to relax and unwind on their summer holidays - and the last place they would expect to lose their little girl.

A spokesman for the holiday park said said staff were "absolutely heartbroken" at Isabella's death.

"She and her family are in all our thoughts and prayers at this time and we offer our deepest condolences to all who knew her," they said.

"We would like to pay special tribute to the team of staff working that evening who could not have done more to deal with what was a terribly difficult situation."

• The Rev Natalie Andrews, of St George's in Littleport, described the events as 'tragic'

Bosses also thanked medically-trained guests who had given first aid, allowing staff to look after the family and emergency services.

"In partnership with guests staying with us at the time, we have set up a fund to buy and plant a tree in Isabella's memory," the spokesman added.

Horsley Hall Farm is a family-run glamping and events site on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border.

Its website says it is set in six acres of woodland and offers events, breaks and outdoor educational programs for schools and youth organisations.

Police are now appealing for anyone who was at the holiday park and may have witnessed the collision to contact them.
