A one-year-old baby girl has died after being hit by a Land Rover in a church car park in Scotland.
The infant was rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary around 7.45pm on Wednesday following the incident in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, but was pronounced dead a short while later.
Police say the driver of the car, a 40-year-old man, was uninjured.
The incident happened in the car park of a Plymouth Brethren church, in Eigie Road. Road policing officers are investigating and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Insp Scott Deans said: “At this time, our thoughts are with the family of the deceased, along with everyone else affected by this tragic incident.
“Our investigation into the circumstances remain ongoing and we’d like to thank the wider Balmedie community for their patience and understanding as officers carry out their inquiries in the area."
In a statement to the BBC, the Plymouth Brethren church said: "We are a very supportive church, and we are giving the family and friends of the people involved in the accident the help they need."
Balmedie is a large village around eight miles north of Aberdeen, on the northeast coast of Scotland.
