A five-year-old girl has died after a car burst into flames following a crash in Bristol.

Emergency services rushed to reports of a single-vehicle road traffic collision in Bishport Avenue, Hartcliffe, on Wednesday 14 August.

A significant number of 999 responders attended, including critical care medics from Wiltshire Air Ambulance – which landed nearby.

Four people were taken to hospital for treatment. However, a girl – aged five – has since died as a result of her injuries.

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “It is with great sadness that we must confirm a five-year-old girl has sadly died this week from her injuries following the collision.

“Her family are aware and they are being offered support by a specially-trained family liaison officer.

“Our thoughts are with them at this time.

“Enquiries are ongoing into the collision and we are renewing our appeal for witnesses and anyone with dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage.

“If you have any information which could aid our enquiries, please contact 101 and quote reference 5224214101.”
