A five-year-old girl has died after she was hit by a lorry while riding her bike.
The child was playing near Oakfield School in East Hull when she was struck by an HGV at about 3.40pm on Thursday.
A number of passers-by desperately rushed to her aid and called emergency services, but the girl died of her injuries at the scene.
Today, flowers and teddy bears have been left in tribute, while the school where the tragedy took place has closed for the day.
Humberside Police says it is still looking for the driver and has appealed for witnesses with dashcam footage to come forward.
The young child was on Hopewell Road, in East Hull near Oakfield School, at about 3.40pm when she was struck by an HGV

'We were called to attend Hopewell Road following reports that a HGV lorry and a child riding a bike were involved in a collision at approximately 3.40pm.
'Emergencies services were deployed but despite their efforts, the cyclist, a five-year-old girl, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Her family are currently being supported by officers at this extremely sad and difficult time.
'We'd like to thank members of the public who came to the aid of those involved whilst emergency services arrived and for the support the wider local community has shown so far.
'We would appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision, or anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage that may assist with our enquires to please contact us on our non-emergency number 101, quoting log 345 of 11 April.'
