Girl, 6, playing outside her house dies after 'running out into road'
Six-year-old Myra Tahseen, who has been named for the first time, was tragically 'struck' by a car after she 'ran out into the road' while playing outside her home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester A six-year-old girl who was playing outside "ran out into the road" before she was hit by a car and died, an inquest heard. Myra Tahseen, who was named for the first time today, sadly died after being rushed to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital when she suffered serious injured outside her house in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. An inquest into her tragic death, which opened on Thursday, heard Myra was "playing at the front of her home address" when she then "ran out into the road" on April 28 at around 5.35pm. The six-year-old girl was "struck" by a car believed to be a Range Rover. Greater Manchester Police confirmed emergency services were called to Ashfield Road in Rochdale at around 5.35pm on Monday, April 28, following reports of the collision, according to Manchester Evening News. Giving evidence at the brief hearing, police coroner's officer Kathy Skelton said Myra was taken to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, where she sadly died. She said officers from GMP's Serious Collision Investigation United (SCIU) attended the scene later and 'enquiries are ongoing'. A provisional cause of death was given at the hearing relating to the injuries Myra sustained. The court also heard of the formal identification process. Oldham-born Myra was the daughter of Mohammed Tahseen and Riffat Sultana, the court heard, and it's believed she had two siblings. Assistant coroner Michael Salt said: "It is understood that the driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated fully with the police." He added that due to the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, a full inquest hearing was 'clearly needed'. No date for a full hearing was set. It's understood a funeral was held for Myra in Rochdale on May 1. No further details were given at the hearing and her family weren't present. At the time, GMP said the Range Rover was travelling westbound along Ashfield Road when the collision occurred. No one else was injured. Detective Constable Thomas Johnson, from GMP's SCIU, said: "I firstly want to pass my condolences onto the family of the girl who tragically died. "The thoughts of everyone from our investigating team are with them and we are continuing to support them where we can. As our work progresses, we are asking for anyone with any information to please come forward. "You may have witnessed last night's incident, or have relevant CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage. If you can send this to our officers, this would be greatly appreciated as we put together a complete picture of the incident." Anyone with information is asked to contact GMP on 101 or online, quoting log 2683 of April 28, 2025. Alternatively, contact SCIU directly on 0161 856 4741, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
