A four-year-old girl injured when a car was hit by a train on a level crossing in Nottinghamshire has died.
The crash happened at the Beech Hill crossing on Springs Road at Misson Springs, near the border with South Yorkshire, just after noon on Tuesday.
The girl, named as Emma Lifsey, was airlifted to Sheffield Children's Hospital but died in the early hours.
A woman, 67, who was in the car suffered neck injuries. No-one on the Lincoln to Doncaster train was injured.
In a statement, Emma's parents, Mark and Zoe Lifsey, from Haxey in North Lincolnshire, said: "Emma meant the world to us. She was our much-loved daughter and a baby sister to her 11-year-old brother Jack.
'Shocked and devastated'"We are still trying to come to terms with the terrible incident on Tuesday afternoon and there are no words that can properly express how utterly distraught we are.
"We would like to thank everyone for the many messages of sympathy and support we have received.
"As you can appreciate, this tragic incident has left us shocked and devastated and we would ask that we can be left to grieve in private at this acutely difficult and sad time for us."
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "The police investigation into the incident is ongoing and remains very much in the early stages.
"Officers are working hard to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, including how the vehicle came to be on the tracks at the time.
"This will include speaking to any witnesses to the incident, while specialist officers will also look at evidence from the scene and the car in question, a black Volvo which has now been recovered."
The Labour MP for Bassetlaw John Mann and the RMT rail union are calling for level crossings to be phased out.
