Seven children and two adults have been hurt after a Land Rover crashed into a girls' prep school in Wimbledon.
Wimbledon MP Stephen Hammond told PA that several of those hurt are "critically injured." All emergency services, including air ambulance, rushed to the scene at around 9.54am.
The driver stopped at the scene of the crash at The Study Preparatory School in Camp Road, and no arrests have yet been made, the Metropolitan Police said. It is not being treated as terror-related.

The Mirror is reporting that one local believes the children were sat outside having a "tea party" when the Land Rover smashed through the fence after the female driver "suffered a medical episode".
MP Stephen Hammond said: "Since being declared by the local police a major incident, you've seen that we've had fire, air ambulance, ambulance and police on the scene. There are a number of people who are critically injured as I understand it and given the scale of the response from emergency services... this is a very serious incident."
He added The Study Prep is a "very well-known and family-based school". The school, which costs £5,565 per term, is for girls aged four to 11 and sits on Wimbledon Common, just a mile away from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as it hosts the world-famous tennis tournament.
Mr Hammond also said the Camp Road site of the school caters for younger children between the ages of four and eight. The Metropolitan Police said: "Officers remain at the scene of a serious collision at a primary school in Wimbledon.
"Police were called at 9.54am on Thursday, 6 July to reports that a car collided with a building at the school in Camp Road. Officers attended, along with paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance.
"At this time nine people are reported injured, these include two adults and seven children. We await further updates on their conditions. The driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene. There have been no arrests."
