A coroner has urged parents to properly fasten children’s seatbelts and wants safety improvements at a busy junction after a little girl died in a road crash.

Aleeza Ahmed, six, had been sitting on a booster seat but without a belt and was thrown from a car at Crookilley Way, Bredbury, near the M60 an inquest heard.

The Vauxhall Astra, driven by her father, Ahmed Hussain, slid on a bend, hit a steep kerb and flipped over as it crossed the central reservation, landing upside down on a car coming the other way.

He has no recollection of the incident but said he would always strap his daughter in safely.
