The parents of a three-year-old girl who was killed after a van struck a tram and mounted the pavement have paid tribute to the “sweetest little girl”.

Louisa Palmisano, known as Lulu, from Burnley, died after the crash forced the van off the road in Manchester city centre at about 10:00 GMT on Saturday.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said a 36-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Police said the van left the scene following the collision.
