A DRIVER has admitted causing the death of a "loved and adored" schoolgirl in a fatal car crash. <\/p>\n

Ola Onubogu, 53, pleaded guilty to killing 11-year-old Isabelle Boshell after knocking her down in a Toyota Verso in Coventry last year. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She was rushed to hospital following the collision on Tamworth Road in October, but she sadly died four days later. <\/p>\n

Her heartbroken family said she was "the best daughter anyone could ever have".<\/p>\n

Onubogu remained at the scene and was treated for minor injuries. <\/p>\n

Police made an arrest at the time, but only announced last month that he had been charged.<\/p>\n

Onubogu appeared in court last week where he pleaded guilty to causing Isabelle's death by driving without due care and attention.<\/p>\n

He will be sentenced at Warwick Crown Court on April 21. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He was also handed an interim driving ban. <\/p>\n

Following Isabelle's death, her grief-stricken family paid tribute to the schoolgirl. <\/p>\n

They said in a statement: "Isabelle was a loving daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter and sister.<\/p>\n

"She was loved by her friends, family and adored by her dog and cat whom she loved.<\/p>\n

"She meant a lot to everyone and lived life to the full; she loved art, dancing, singing and learning.<\/p>\n

"She was learning to play the guitar and was a unique individual who loved to set her own trends.<\/p>\n

"The best daughter anyone could ever have. Please respect our family at this sad time and allow us the privacy to grieve."<\/p>\n
