The organization is offering grief counselling and support in wake of tragedy

London police say an eight-year-old girl died following a crash Tuesday night and another nine people were injured, ranging in age from six to 40.

So far no charges have been laid, but police have said a 76-year-old female driver was involved and remained at the scene.

She was not taken to hospital.

Police say the driver struck another vehicle stopped at a red light, before continuing through the intersection and hitting a light standard, a tree and then the group of pedestrians after it mounted the curb.

Premier Doug Ford and London Mayor Ed Holder left flowers at the scene yesterday.
