Tribute paid to 4-year-old girl killed by car weeks before her

A tragic incident occurred on Nottingham Road in Gotham last Sunday, claiming the life of a young girl named Olive Farrow. According to reports, Olive was run over just before 3:30 pm. The community is still reeling from the shock of her passing.

Olive's family described her as a bright and affectionate child who brought joy to those around her. She loved singing, dancing, and creating art, often filling the house with colorful paintings. Her relatives remembered her as a creative and caring person who always went out of her way to be kind to others.

The family also spoke fondly of Olive's close relationship with her two brothers, Teddy and Sonny. They described her as "inseparable" from her siblings, whom she looked up to with great love. Olive was set to join her brother Sonny at primary school, having already attended taster sessions, and was excited to be part of the same school community.

Tributes have been paid to a 'cheeky, funny and sassy little girl' who was tragically killed following a road traffic collision. Emergency services were called to Nottingham Road in Gotham at 2.28pm on Sunday 12 July following a collision between a vehicle and a girl. Tragically, Olive Farrow, aged four, died a short time later in hospital. Family have thanked the local community for their overwhelming support during this incredibly difficult time. In a family statement they said: "Olive was a cheeky, funny and sassy little girl, who may have been tiny in size, but she certainly made up for it with her big personality. "Not a day went by without Olive singing and dancing her way round the house and spreading her affection; always kissing and cuddling and going out of her way to be kind to everyone. "Olive's memory will live on with all the colourful paintings we have around the house. Quite often she would take herself off and come back with a beautiful work of art as she was so creative. "Olive had two brothers, Teddy and Sonny, who she was inseparable from and looked up to with so much love. "Olive was due to join Sonny at primary school, having had her taster sessions. She was so excited to be joining her brother there. "No words can express the loss and pain felt across the family and all that knew Olive, we are utterly devastated to think we can no longer hold her in our arms. "We would like to thank the community for coming together to support us through this difficult time. It has helped greatly to see the outpouring of love with the messages and flowers laid on Nottingham Road."

The loss of Olive has been deeply felt by her family and the wider community. Her relatives expressed their devastation, saying that no words can convey the pain and loss they are experiencing. They have, however, been touched by the outpouring of love and support from the community, including messages and flowers laid on Nottingham Road.

Olive's personality was remembered as "cheeky, funny, and sassy," with a big presence despite her small size. Her family and friends are still coming to terms with her passing, and a vigil has been organized at St Lawrence's Church in Gotham to offer support and pay tribute.

The police are investigating the circumstances of Olive's death and have asked people not to speculate on social media. They are seeking information from anyone who may have witnessed the incident, and a contact has been provided for those with relevant details.
