'Bubbly' five-year-old girl chokes to death on favourite snack in mum's car

A 'bright and bubbly' little girl has died in a tragic accident after she choked while eating her favourite snack in her mum's car. Imogen Lennon was only five when she began to struggle in the back seat of her mum's car after being given a deli frankfurt to eat on January 16, the Mirror reports.

The youngster was on her way home to Canowindra in Central West New South Wales, Australia, from a swimming lesson and was 'chatting away to her mum' when she began to choke. Her mother Samantha rang an ambulance but they were too far away so she drove to the hospital herself with the help of a passer by.

Despite their best efforts, Imogen sadly died in hospital leaving Samantha and her husband Bill absolutely 'shattered' by their devastating loss. Floods of tribute have been paid to the 'beautiful' little girl as close family friends have set up a fundraiser to support the heartbroken family.
