Police are searching for a van driver who fled the scene of a Manchester city centre collision in which a three-year-old girl was killed.
The girl, a pedestrian, died after a collision between a tram and a van at about 10am on Saturday morning.
The tram forced the van onto the footpath on Mosley Street, where it hit the girl.
She was taken to hospital but died from her injuries, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Police said they are following several lines of enquiry to locate the van driver.
The force has appealed for witnesses, and said no arrests had been made so far.
Assistant chief constable Stephanie Parker said: "Firstly, I would like to send my condolences to the family of the victim. This is a tragic incident where a young girl has sadly lost her life despite the responding officer's best attempts to save her.
"Our investigation is ongoing and we are investigating a number of lines of enquiry. This is being treated as an isolated incident with no wider threat to the community.
"I thank the public for their patience with the disruption this incident has caused in the city centre and our officers will remain on patrol into the evening. If you have any concerns please speak to our officers and raise them as they are here to help and assist."
