Driver involved in crash that killed two girls at Wimbledon school arrested again

UK

The driver of an SUV that crashed into a school in Wimbledon killing two schoolgirls has been arrested after detectives reopened the investigation, the Metropolitan Police said.

Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau died after the collision at The Study Prep school in southwest London, on 6 July 2023.

A “distinctive gold” Land Rover smashed through a fence and drove into the school as an end-of-term tea party was being hosted.

More than a dozen people were also injured.

The Met Police said it arrested a 48-year-old woman for the second time on Tuesday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

An initial investigation led to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) deciding in June last year that the woman should face no further action.

But, after concerns were raised by the families of the two young girls, a review of the investigation was carried out and it was decided further examination was required.
