First picture of girl, 14, killed in bicycle crash days after Christmas

This is the first picture of a schoolgirl who died in a horror cycle crash last weekend.

The young cyclist has been named by police as 14-year-old Caitlin Swan.

Emergency services were called to Tubbon Hill near Stithians, Cornwall, at 1.45pm on Saturday after her bike was in collision with a van.

Caitlin, from Truro, Cornwall, and a pupil at Penair School, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The road was closed for more than six hours for a forensic examination of the scene to be carried out.
