We can confirm that a girl involved in a serious road traffic collision in Huyton sadly died yesterday evening, Tuesday 7 June.
At around, 3.30pm, emergency services were called to Princess Drive to reports that a girl was involved in a collision with a white Mercedes van as she got off a bus.
The girl, 12-year-old Lexi McDavid from Huyton, was taken to Alder Hey Children’s hospital where she sadly died a short time later.
The driver of the van remained at the scene and is continuing to assist police with enquiries into the incident.
Witness and CCTV enquiries are ongoing in the area.

“An investigation is ongoing and we’d ask that anyone who witnessed the collision or captured anything on dashcam or other devices and has yet to come forward does so as soon as possible. Your information could be vital to our investigation.
