Tot Melania was being driven in an Opel Zafira by her mum’s friend to get a cat when tragedy struck.

The car reportedly was driving down a road in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, when it crashed into the streetlight and killed the toddler.

Police say the tragic incident happened because the driver had ignored the rule that children under the age of 12 and less than 145 centimetres tall are advised not to travel in the front and especially not to travel without a specially fitted child seat.
