The family of a nine-year-old girl who died following a road traffic collision in Halifax last month have paid tribute to her.

In a tribute, her family said: “Alice was a bright, loving and beautiful girl, who brought her family and friends joy every day.

“We desperately miss her and will never be able to comprehend her shocking death.”

Jenna Walker, head teacher at St Mary’s Catholic Primary Academy in Halifax, said: “Alice was a genuinely lovely little girl.

"She was someone who was gentle, kind-hearted and full of smiles.

“Her loss has left a huge hole in our school and our community, and we will continue to remember and honour her life.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.”
