A GIRL of 15 was killed on her way to school when a BMW ploughed into a bus stop at 8.15am.

Katelyn Dawson died after being taken to hospital by air ambulance.

Classmates described her as “amazing, kind, funny and beautiful”.

The headteache­r at her school, John Mcnally, said: “Katelyn was a passionate, popular student. We’re devastated.”

Three others, including a 17-year-old girl also at Shelley College, Huddersfie­ld, West Yorks, and the driver, 51, were injured.

The most badly hurt, Christine Crawshaw, 47, has serious leg injuries.

Husband Steven said: “Christine won’t walk for a year. It’s terrible but not as bad as what Katelyn’s family has been through.”
