Rosa Simon was riding on her scooter in Canterbury Gardens when she was hit by the car on Tuesday.

The driver of the car has been treated for shock but was not arrested, according to police.

Rosa was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead on Tuesday night.

In a statement released through police, her family said: "Rosa was a much beloved and loving daughter and sister.

"Small in size, but a giant in character, kindness and with a sheer joy at being alive.

"It has been a privilege to have known her as parents and as siblings. She made us better and happier people.

"We are devastated by losing her. Her death has robbed us of much of the sparkle of life. We now ask that, as a grieving family, we are given time to be with our dear family and friends."
