A "much-loved" schoolgirl who died after being hit by a van will be "greatly missed" by her peers and teachers.
Lexi McDavid was hit by a white Mercedes van as she got off a bus on Princess Drive on Tuesday, June 7. Emergency services were called to the scene at around 3.30pm, with the 12-year-old being rushed to Alder Hey Hospital where she died a short time later. Merseyside Police confirmed the driver of the van stayed at the scene and is continuing to assist with enquiries.
Lexi, from Huyton, attended Broughton Hall Catholic High School, with headteacher Gerard Peston now paying tribute to the schoolgirl. He said: "Lexi was a much-loved pupil at Broughton Hall, by staff and her peers. She was a bright, articulate, funny and intelligent pupil. She represented the year group at numerous whole school celebrations, where she was known for her beautiful speaking voice.
