Wimbledon crash: Why driver will not face criminal charges

A woman who killed two eight-year-old girls when her car crashed into a school in south-west London will not face criminal charges, the Crown Prosecution (CPS) has said.

Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau died after a Land Rover crashed into an end-of-term tea party at The Study Preparatory School in Wimbledon on 6 July 2023.

The families have been informed by the CPS the woman who was driving will not be charged as she had suffered an epileptic seizure.

Claire Freemantle, the driver of the vehicle, expressed her "deepest sorrow" and said she had "no recollection of what took place".

The girls' families said "justice has neither been done, nor has been seen to be done today".

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ London's Tom Edwards has the story.
