<\/p>\nA UKRAINIAN girl has been left orphaned after her mum, brother and sister died in a horror crash.<\/p>\n
The tragedy took the lives of Daria Bartienieva, 35, her son Ihor, six, and step-daughter Anastasiia, 15, on Sunday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The family were travelling down the A61 between South Stainely and Ripley, Ripon,\u00a0north Yorkshire, in a silver Vauxhall Meriva when they were killed in a head-on collision.<\/p>\n
North Yorkshire\u00a0Police\u00a0say the Vauxhall and a blue Toyota Aygo collided with a double-decker bus which was heading in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
It has today been revealed that a 15-year-old girl has sadly been orphaned following the accident. <\/p>\n
It comes after the teen, who The Sun are choosing not to name, had previously lost her dad to a car crash in Ukraine in February.<\/p>\n

Locals say the young girl's grandparents are not in the UK and she is currently staying with people in the nearby area.<\/p>\n
It's understood she was not involved in the crash.<\/p>\n
Mum Daria had fled the war-torn country with her kids for a better life.<\/p>\n
Donna Chilcott, whose fundraising page has amassed over \u00a38,000 for the bereaved teen, said the family sought sanctuary in Ripon.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She went on to say Daria's step-daughter Anastasiia had only been in the UK five weeks before her death.<\/p>\n Donna, 39, said: "It's heartbreaking, especially for her. She lost her dad in February in Ukraine and then lost the rest of her whole family in one car crash.<\/p>\n "As far as I'm aware, he also died in a car crash. She's now being looked after by a family friend. <\/p>\n "The little boy had quite a lot of friends at the school that he went to.<\/p>\n "The other girl, Anastasiia, had only been here for five weeks, in the UK, then died in a car crash.<\/p>\n "The mum, was really nice from what everyone has been saying.<\/p>\n "My daughter goes to school with the girl that has been left on her own. But I didn't really know the family. <\/p>\n I'm friends with the lady who has taken her in."<\/p>\n A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson today said: "We are now able to confirm the identities of the woman and two children who tragically died in a collision on the A61 near Ripon on Sunday 3 September 2023.<\/p>\n "They are Daria Bartienieva, 35, her son, Ihor Bartienieva, aged 6, and Daria's step-daughter, Anastasiia Bartienieva aged 15.<\/p>\n "All three were from Ukraine and living in Ripon, North Yorkshire, at the time of the collision.<\/p>\n "Our thoughts are with their family members in the UK and Ukraine at this time."<\/p>\n The bus driver in the crash was taken to hospital with leg injuries whilst some passengers sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n Two passengers in the Toyota escaped unscathed.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TOB-COMP-Rachel-Riley.jpg\")
