The nine-year-old girl killed in a bus crash in south-east London has been named for the first time.

Ada Bicakci and her brother, five, were hit by a bus on Watling Street in Bexleyheath around 9am on August 3.

Described as a keen gymnast and swimmer, Ada died in hospital the following Monday.

Her family has now released photos of the nine-year-old girl, who attended a local primary school.

One of the images shows the Turkish-British national smiling as she holds a lock of her hair, which she cut off for donation.

The male bus driver was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug-driving.

He has been bailed until November pending further enquiries.

Police are continuing to appeal for any witnesses of the crash to help with their investigation.
