knocked down and killed her own daughter while
trying to park her car.
DailyMail reports Bolutito Shodipe was run over
outside Hounslow West tube station in south-west
London yesterday morning. The six-year-old's
devastated family are 'coming to terms with this
terrible accident' as British Transport Police
investigates what happened. Bolutito's mother was
attempting to park her car outside the station at
around 9.40am when she struck her child.
Police and London Ambulance Service paramedics
tried to resuscitate Bolutito at the scene but she was
later pronounced dead at St Mary's Hospital in
Paddington.
A family statement released by police said:
'Bolutito was our eldest daughter and no-one could
have asked for a better daughter. She was a
beautiful, well behaved, girl who loved ballet and
who will be sorely missed by all of us. This is an
extremely upsetting time for us and we ask that we
be given the respect and space to grieve and to come
to terms with this terrible accident.'
DCI Iain Miller of British Transport Police said
detectives are working to determine how the incident
occurred. He said:
'Our officers attended, alongside colleagues from
the Metropolitan Police Service and London
Ambulance Service, and discovered a child - a six-
year-old girl - had sustained fatal injuries having
been struck by a car being driven by her mother. It
is clear that both mother and child arrived together
in the car park and the accident occurred during a
parking manoeuvre. Specialist officers are now
providing full support to the girl's family whilst
detectives are working to determine exactly how the
incident occurred.'
