A 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

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
