Annalise Holt – kind and caring child
Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses after a 12-year-old girl was tragically killed in a collision in Shaw.
Shortly before 4.30pm on Tuesday 17 December 2013, police were called to Milnrow Road in Shaw following reports of a collision. Officers attended and found that two girls, one aged 11 and the other 12, had been in collision with a blue Mercedes Vito van. Emergency services went to the scene and both girls were taken to hospital for treatment to serious injuries.
The 12-year-old girl sadly died. Her family have been informed and she has been identified as Annalise Holt from Oldham. The 11-year-old girl remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition. Sergeant Paul Higgins from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “A young girl has tragically been killed and we are working hard to find out the circumstances of the collision.
“Our thoughts are with her family and we are supporting them at this difficult time.
“We would ask anyone who saw the collision to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
“In particular, a car that was behind the blue Mercedes Vito van left the scene before police arrived. We are very keen to speak to the driver and any passengers in that vehicle as they may have information that could help us with our investigation.”
Lesley, Annalise’s mum, has paid the following tribute: “Annalise was my beautiful angel princess. She was full of joy and energy, loud and outgoing.
“She was a kind 12-year-old girl, always willing to help others, old and young.
“She is the light of my life, my whole world. I love her more than words can say. She was everything to me. She was too young to be taken away. She was going to have a great life but it’s not to be.
“I just want her back and everyone to remember her for the loud, helpful, kind, caring child she was.”
Any witnesses or anyone with information should call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4742.
