Blackpool schoolgirl killed in horror crash
A TEENAGE girl from Blackpool died after she was knocked down by a car seconds after stepping off a school bus.
Robyn Oldham, 15, was hit by the car at Birkenhills in Aberdeenshire on Thursday.
Her school friends watched in horror from the bus as paramedics desperately tried to save her life.
The teenager was flown from the scene, at Birkenhills on the A947 Turriff-Fyvie road, to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where she later died.
The tragedy happened just yards from the young girl's home where floral tributes have been laid.
Reports locally say Robyn had just started a new life after moving to Scotland from Blackpool.
She was attending Turriff Academy.
Police say pupils at the school have been left shaken by their classmate's death and are to be offered counselling.
