Influencer Left Fighting for Life
A woman in her 30s, known on social media as influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska (aka Klaudiaglam), remains in a life-threatening condition. The Polish-born social media star was involved in a heated argument outside the Inca club moments before the incident. Two others were also injured: a man in his 50s, who was trying to unlock an e-bike, sustained life-changing injuries, and another woman in her 30s suffered minor wounds.
Shocking Footage Shows Chaos as Car Smashes Into Crowd
Graphic videos circulating online show a car suddenly speeding forward into the crowd, with witnesses shouting, “She is going to run her over!” The footage captures Klaudia being knocked down and trapped under the vehicle as bystanders rush to help. The car then swerved into a wall, hitting the man unlocking the e-bike and leaving Klaudia unconscious on the ground. The driver was seen getting out and confronting the victims while they lay injured.
Police Urge Public Not to Share Graphic Videos
The Met warned the public to stop sharing the disturbing videos to respect victims and avoid jeopardising the ongoing criminal case. Carrington remains in custody ahead of her first court appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
