Tributes to ‘beautiful’ schoolgirl, 14, killed in horror crash, as lad, 6, fights for life in hospital
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 14-year-old schoolgirl who was killed in a crash that left a six-year-old boy fighting for his life.
Hana Mabrouk, 14, died on Sunday after being seriously injured in a horror two-car smash on October 17.
She was rushed to hospital with a six-year-old boy and two adults after their Ford Focus collided with a Volkswagen Golf.
The boy remains in a critical condition after the crash on the M8 near Whitburn, East Lothian, in Scotland.
The road was closed for around five hours as police continue to probe the crash.
A heartbroken family friend broke the news of Hana’s death on social media and invited all who knew her to attend her funeral on Wednesday.
‘PRECIOUS DAUGHTER’
She wrote: “They [Hana’s parents] would like everyone to know that their precious daughter Hana sadly passed away.
“Due to the Muslim religion Hana will be laid to rest quickly. The finer details have to be confirmed but the funeral will take place on Wednesday 27th October.”
