An inquest has been opened into the death of a toddler who was hit by a vehicle at holiday park. 

Isabella Tucker, 2, was playing with her sister and cousins at Horsley Hale Farm in Horsley Hale, near Littleport, when she was struck.  

Elizabeth Gray, an area coroner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, opened the inquest today (Thursday) at Lawrence Court, in Huntingdon.

At the brief hearing, the inquest was then adjourned for a future date. 

Ms Gray said: “... I can confirm it will be listed for a hearing in due course when we have received further information [for the inquest].” 

The incident happened in the early evening of August 25 and Isabella was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King’s Lynn. 

Despite everyone's best efforts to save her, she died of her injuries. 

Isabella, from Shadwell, east London, was on holiday with her family at the time. 

Following the tragedy, she was described as a “beautiful daughter and little sister” in a tribute released through the police.   

A fundraising campaign set up to raise money for her funeral has so far collected over £17,000 - £2,000 more than its original target.   

Arune Bastyte, a friend of the family, set up the GoFundMe page and the amount will also go towards mental health support for Isabella’s mother and sister.  

Both are said to have witnessed the incident.   

Writing on the GoFundMe website, she said: “A time that was supposed to be for making good memories turned into our worst nightmare when Isabella was struck and killed by a car. 

“As we struggle to come to terms with Isabella’s death, I am trying to help Vaida organise a funeral to mourn the loss of her baby girl and celebrate her life.” 

Meanwhile, Cambridgeshire police say a 42-year-old woman from the Leeds area was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving.   

She has been released on police bail until November.
