These are devastating times for the Sodipes, one of the Nigerian families that are resident in the United Kingdom.
Bolutito Sodipe, their six year old daughter who also happens to be the first born of the family was knocked down and instantly killed by the mom while she was trying to park her car outside a West tube station in Hounslow in south-west London yesterday morning.
According to investigations, Bolutito's mother was attempting to park her car outside the station at around 9.40am when she struck her child.
Police and London Ambulance Service paramedics tried to resuscitate Bolutito at the scene but she was later pronounced dead at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.
A family statement released by police said: 'Bolutito was our eldest daughter and no-one could have asked for a better daughter.
'She was a beautiful, well behaved, girl who loved ballet and who will be sorely missed by all of us.
'This is an extremely upsetting time for us and we ask that we be given the respect and space to grieve and to come to terms with this terrible accident.'
DCI Iain Miller of British Transport Police said detectives are working to determine how the incident occurred.
The six-year-old's devastated family are still in shock and in denial trying to 'come to terms with this terrible accident' as British Transport Police continues to investigate what and how the accident really happened
