Shock Seizure Suspected in Tragic Wimbledon School Crash
Shocking new details have emerged about the horrific crash that claimed the lives of two eight-year-old girls outside Study Preparatory School in Wimbledon. Sources say the Land Rover driver may have suffered a seizure behind the wheel just before the tragedy.
Two Girls Dead, Multiple Injured at End-of-Term Party
Selena Lau died instantly at the scene on July 6, with Nuria Sajjad passing away in hospital three days later. The crash occurred during an end-of-term party, injuring 16 people, including a woman in her 40s who remains in critical condition.
- A 46-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. She has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.
- A source revealed the driver was found in a delirious state, having bitten through her tongue — a strong sign of a seizure.
“She’d stopped outside the school but the car suddenly took off as if the accelerator was floored. Police believe she had a seizure just before the crash,” the source said.
Police Investigation Underway, Community in Mourning
The Metropolitan Police have yet to comment officially on the seizure theory as their investigation continues. Detective Chief Superintendent Clair Kelland expressed sympathy for the devastated families and the wider Wimbledon community.
“The pain and upset felt by all involved is immense. We are committed to supporting the families and uncovering every detail of this tragic incident,” Kelland said.
She also called for the public to avoid speculation while detectives work to piece together what happened.
Families Remember Beloved Girls
Selena Lau’s family described her as an “intelligent and cheeky girl adored by all,” requesting privacy during this heartbreaking time. Nuria Sajjad’s relatives called her “kind, joyful, and generous,” thanking hospital staff and school officials for their support.
This devastating event has rocked the local community and raised urgent questions about driver health and road safety. Authorities vow to get to the bottom of this tragic crash and provide care for those affected.
