A girl who died after being hit by a taxi on Thursday has been named as 16-year-old Melissa Premaratne by police.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called at 8.13am on Thursday after a collision involving a pedestrian and a car on North Road, Highgate, north London.
Police said the girl died at the scene.
In a tribute released through the force, the teenager's family said: "Melissa was a light in our lives and an amazing person.
"We will miss her deeply, every single day. Her kindness, warmth, and beautiful spirit will always remain in our hearts."
A spokesperson from Highgate School said Melissa was in Year 12 and on her way to school when the collision took place.
The driver of the Addison Lee car, a 68-year-old man, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by careless driving. He has since been released on bail.
