Girl, 9, killed by London bus named

Ada Bicakci, from Bexleyheath, was a keen gymnast and swimmer

A nine-year-old girl who was killed after being hit by a bus in south-east London has been named by police.

Ada Bicakci, a Turkish-British national, was struck on Watling Street, in Bexleyheath, shortly after 09:00 BST on 3 August and died in hospital two days later.

Ada was with her five-year-old brother, who was also involved in the collision, and a family member at the time.

The bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug-driving and has been bailed until early November, the Metropolitan Police said.

Police said keen gymnast and swimmer Ada lived in Bexleyheath and attended a local primary school as well as a Turkish school.

Following her death, Ada's organs were donated to help six other children and she will have a multi-faith funeral, Scotland Yard said.

The family is being supported by specialist officers and have requested that their privacy is respected.

Detectives say they still want to hear from witnesses and those with dashcam footage.
