Paying tribute to her, Olivia’s family said: “Olivia Edohasim was delivered to the world in late summer 2006. This little bundle of joy was gladly welcomed and breezed through her milestones with ease.

“She brought smiles to all faces at all times and was the star daughter, sister, granddaughter and god daughter.

“She was exceptional at school and left a blaze of success in all that she engaged in and was never afraid to step out of her comfort zone. She grew up and was nurtured in her family’s traditional Christian beliefs.

“She will be greatly missed by all of us but will remain in our thoughts and hearts forever.”

Investigations are continuing into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
