Girl, 3, killed in horror crash and parents in hospital after car smashes into tree

A three-year-old girl has been killed when the car her parents were driving suddenly came off the road and crashed into a tree.

Ada Louise Margaret Bovair, from Bluntisham in Cambridgeshire, was travelling in the Volvo XC60 on the A14 when the incident happened on Sunday August 28 at around 11am.

All three were rushed to hospital in critical conditions.

Despite the efforts of the team of doctors, Ada died on Friday, September 2.
