No arrests have been made as Thames Valley Police said it is not being treated as a hit-and-run.

The driver is understood to have stopped at the scene and is cooperating with the police investigation.

In a letter shared with the Oxford Mail, headteacher Brynhild Idland of Nesbru High School, a secondary school in Norway, named Iril as the teenage girl who died following the crash.

It read: "The school will remember Iril by setting up a table in the vestibule with a picture, lights and a memorial protocol.

“The table will be left until the funeral so that everyone has the opportunity to write a final greeting to Iril.

“Next week we will organise a memorial service for Iril.”

The Oxford Mail approached the headteacher for a formal statement but was told the school were not in a position to do so.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is aware a Norwegian citizen has died in an incident in the United Kingdom but could not confirm any more details.

A spokeswoman said: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is aware that a Norwegian citizen has died in the UK. We are in contact with the person’s relatives to assist in the situation.”

County councillor for Wheatley and candidate for police and crime commissioner, Tim Bearder, added there needs to be a “cracking down” on dangerous driving.

He said: “When I suggest going slower, reducing car travel in favour of pedestrians and public transport and cracking down on dangerous driving it prompts a barrage of abuse and anger from an entitled minority.

“I simply want to prevent more of these tragedies.”
