Police are appealing for information after a 13-year-old girl was killed when a car hit two teenage girls in north London.

Officers were called at 9.35pm on Monday to reports of a car colliding with two pedestrians on Longmore Avenue in Barnet.

A 13-year-old girl was rushed to a north London hospital, where she died shortly before 11pm. Her next of kin have been informed.

A second girl, aged 15, was shocked but physically uninjured, Scotland Yard said. The car stopped at the scene, police said.

Gardene De Carvalho, 41, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

She was taken to a north London police station where she was later charged.

Detectives from the Roads and Transport Policing Command are investigating.

The Met Police said: "They would like to speak with any witnesses, anyone who has information about the collision, and any motorists who captured the collision, or the moments leading up to it, on dash cam footage."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 020 8246 9820.
