A ten-year-old girl has been hailed a hero after she pushed two young children out of the path of a runaway vehicle which then struck and killed her.
Kiera Larsen sprang into action after the Mercedes SUV began rolling down a sloping driveway in Lakeside, California, according to the California Highway Patrol.
She was able to push Adison, aged one, and two-year-old Emma out of the way, but was hit herself.
Alyssa Jenkins, the mother of the two children, told KGTV: "She saved both my daughters' lives, my two kids, and both could have been gone in an instant.
"She stepped in and did what she knows and that's to protect those around her.
"She is truly a hero and will forever be my kids' guardian angel."
Officer Kevin Pearlstein, of the California Highway Patrol, said: "A 10-year-old girl pushed another child out of the way of the in-motion vehicle.
"Unfortunately, while doing this the vehicle struck the 10-year-old girl causing major injuries.
"We're going to do an inspection on the vehicle, find out why this happened, find out if there was some sort of malfunction on the vehicle and go from there."
Kiera died in hospital after the accident on Monday.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to cover her family's costs and has so far nearly raised $60,000 (£43,000).
The post on the page reads: "Those of you who had the pleasure of knowing Kiera know that she is such an amazing, beautiful, smart and funny little girl.
"She truly brings so much love and happiness to so many people."

A New York pharmacy has been on the receiving end of a backlash after announcing a new store policy that "all male customers are subject to a 7% Man Tax". The unofficial levy was announced in the window of Thompson Chemists in the Soho district of Manhattan on Monday, alongside another sign declaring that "all female customers shop tax free". The move has triggered a passionate debate on Reddit and Facebook , fuelled by an image of the independent shop's window, which has been viewed several hundred thousand times on the photo sharing site Imgur. An employee of Thompson Chemists confirmed to BBC Trending that the new policy was to highlight instances of gender pricing discrepancy. It follows a study conducted by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs which found that on average "women's products cost 7% more than similar products for men." The gender price gap was even greater when it came to adult clothes and personal

Body Language :: Hand to face gestures

The Mouth Guard The mouth guard is one of the few adult gestures that is as obvious as a child's. The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes this gesture may only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist, but its meaning remains the same. Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough.If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying! Nose Touching and Eye Rub The Nose Touch - In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Like the mouth guard gesture, it can be used both by the spe
