Bonny, who has been named by her family, was a passenger in the van. The driver, a 23-year-old man, suffered serious injuries including a number of fractures. He was taken to hospital and has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Lancashire Police says Bonny's family is being supported by specially trained officers while enquiries continue. Any witnesses, or people with mobile or dashcam footage, are being urged to come forward.
Sgt Phil Baxendale, of the Specialist Operations Road Policing Unit, said: “First and foremost my thoughts are with the loved ones of the young girl who has sadly lost her life. While we have made an arrest our investigation is ongoing and I would continue to appeal to anyone who either saw the collision itself, or the van beforehand, or who has any footage which could assist in our investigation, to get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lancashire Police on 101, quoting log 1253 of July 7.
