The nine-year-old girl who died along with her five-year-old brother when she was hit by a double-decker bus was nine-year-old Ada Bicakci.

She died in hospital on Monday afternoon, August 5, two days after she was hit by the car in Bexleyheath, south-east London.

Little Ada’s organs were donated and used to help six other children, police announced today.

The sweet girl had once cut off her long hair to donate it to charity and was described as an avid gymnast and swimmer.

The male driver of the bus was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving under the influence of drugs. He was released on bail pending further investigations and is now due to be arrested in early November.

Her younger brother was taken to hospital as a precaution but has since been released. At the time of the accident, both were with a family member.
