Lucinda, 10, will never see the doll she begged her parents to get her for Christmas - as family mourns the 'beautiful soul' killed while racing her friends across the road on her scooter

The family of 10-year-old Lucinda King, who was killed on Monday when she was hit  by a truck while racing her friends across a busy road, face a grim Christmas haunted by the memory of the 'beautiful soul' that has left them.

Lucinda King couldn't be revived by paramedics after being hit by a three-tonne council truck in Cambridge Gardens, near Penrith in western Sydney, just after 4pm on Monday. 

Her older brother Jacob King, 21, said his 'distraught' father Jason doesn't know how he will make it through Christmas.

'Lucinda was excited about presents, she wanted a doll, Christmas won't be right this year, she was the most beautiful soul, full of energy and just a sweet, sweet cheeky child,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 

Mr King said his younger sister, who attended Werrington Public School, was racing friends on her scooter to get to the other side of the road.  

'What will we do without Lucinda at Christmas? We are all really shocked about it. One minute you're planning for Christmas and the next she's gone,' he said.

Just moments before the tragedy, Lucinda left a nearby Caltex service station, where she was buying lollies with her brother.

Local Kingswood Park newsagent Joseph Najjar remembered Lucinda as a 'little bargainer' who came into his store to buy sweets every day after school.

'She was such a cheeky little girl, she would come in with $1.50 or $2 and ask for lollies that cost $4,' he said.

Mr Najjar said he was never able to say no to Lucinda's 'puppy dog eyes'.

NSW Police said no charges have been laid, and investigations into the crash are continuing. 

Heart wrenching pictures from the scene showed paramedics consoling each other after the tragedy.

A female paramedic was brought to her knees, while others were seen consoling a man who held his head between his hands.

A man believed to be Lucinda's father was seen speaking to police and picking up a hat, a pair of child-sized shoes, and a scooter from the scene.

Dozens of locals gathered around the crime scene in the aftermath of the incident.
