Horror as girl, 4, dies in tragic Birmingham crash and dad leaves heartbreaking tribute
Mayar Yahia was tragically killed after a silver Vauxhall hit her and three others.
Police have named a four-year-old girl who died after being hit by a car in Birmingham last week.
Mayar Yahia, 4, was tragically killed after a silver Vauxhall hit her and three others in Upper Highgate Street on April 14 (Sun).
West Midlands Police say a grey Mercedes was in close proximity to the Corsa at the time of the accident and are appealing for information.
Two men, aged 21 and 24, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but have since been bailed while enquiries continue.
The three other individuals involved suffered injuries but they are not being treated as serious, according to the police.
Mayar's family paid tribute to her, describing her as a 'cherished daughter' and that her loss will leave an 'irreplaceable void' in their lives.
In a statement her father Babiker said: "It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we share the devastating loss of our cherished daughter, Mayar.
"She was an extraordinary young girl, only four years old, full of life and joy, and her absence leaves an irreplaceable void in our lives. Among all, she held a special place in my heart.
"Words fail to capture the depth of our grief and the magnitude of this loss. However, we find solace and strength in the unwavering support and compassion shown by the police officers, our community, family, and friends.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who have stood by our side, offering your love, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Midland's Police collision investigation unit, either online or by dialing 101.
