A man has been charged after a three-year-old girl was hit and killed by a van which previously struck a tram and mounted a pavement in Manchester city centre. Louisa “Lulu” Palmisano, from Burnley, died after she was hit by the vehicle after it was forced off the road at about 10:00 GMT on Saturday. Rawal Rehman, 35, of Manchester, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, Greater Manchester Police said. He is set to appear before Manchester Magistrates’ Court later. Lulu’s parents said they had been “simply enjoying a happy family day out when this unimaginable tragedy struck”. “Her absence has left a devastating void in our family,” they said. “She was our only child, our whole world.” First responders including an air ambulance crew tried to save Lulu at the scene outside Manchester Art Gallery but she died later in hospital.
