A woman has been released on police bail after the death of a 14-year-old girl who was in a collision with a van. The parents of a 14-year-old girl who died after a collision with a van have paid tribute to their "much loved daughter" who was a "tomboy at heart".
Hannah Louise Davies was playing with friends when she was in collision with a Vauxhall Movano box van in Aberfan, Merthyr Vale, on Saturday. Hannah Davies died following the collision in Perthygleision, Aberfan, Merthyr Vale, on Saturday evening.

The 33-year-old driver was arrested before being released. Police are appealing for witnesses. Hannah had just begun her GCSEs at Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun, Hirwaun, and was also taking a college plumbing course.
Hannah's family are being supported by South Wales Police family liaison officers.

"She had just started Year 10 in school and had just started her GCSEs.
"She was a tomboy at heart and was hoping to become a plumber. One day a week she was attending a plumbing course at Merthyr College and was very much regarded as one of the boys.
"She was a big Liverpool Football Club fan and shared her love of Liverpool with her father from a very young age.
"Hannah was a very popular girl with a very large circle of friends."
