Detectives have named the two teenage girls killed after being hit by a car on a Hampshire road in the early hours of this morning.
Jasmine Allsop, aged 14, died at the scene of the collision in Ann’s Hill Road in Gosport.
Olivia Lewry, aged 16, was taken to hospital but died later.
The girls were both pedestrians and were involved in a collision with a green Honda Civic car which was being driven along the road at about 4am today (Sunday, November 3).
Detectives from Hampshire Constabulary’s Major Investigation Team launched a murder investigation earlier today.
Detective Superintendent Dick Pearson said: “This is an extremely tragic incident which has resulted in the death of two young girls.
“I currently have a team of detectives and other officers, including expert road collision investigators, working on this case to fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of these two teenage girls.
“I would appeal to anyone who knows anything which could help this investigation to contact my team as soon as possible.”
A 20-year-old man from Gosport has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Major Investigation Team at Fratton Police Station on 101, quoting Operation Barb.
