A child has died following a collision between two cars in Surrey, police said.

The collision occurred at around 5.25pm on Friday between two roads in the village of Dunsfold, and involved a black Vauxhall Astra and a white Tesla. The girl, who was a passenger in one of the cars, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and has died, Surrey Police said. The force has not released the age of the child.

Her family are being supported by specialist officers, the force added. A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, leaving the scene of a road traffic collision and driving without a valid driving licence.

He has since been further arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving while uninsured, and causing death by driving while unlicensed. He remains in police custody.

Anyone who witnessed, or has information about, the collision - including any dashcam footage, is asked to contact police quoting reference PR/45230133833.
