Wimbledon crash injured all out of hospital, say police, as driver rebailed

No children remain in hospital after a Land Rover crashed into an end-of-term tea party at a Wimbledon prep school, killing two eight-year-old girls and injuring others, police have said.

Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau died after a car crashed through a fence and collided with a building at The Study Prep school in Camp Road on the morning of July 6.

They added that several people, including a seven-month-old girl, who were taken to hospital have since been discharged from hospital.

Inquests into the deaths of the two girls were opened and adjourned at Inner West London Coroner’s Court on July 12.

A police spokesman said: “Their families continue to request privacy at this difficult time.”

On Friday, the Metropolitan Police said a 46-year-old woman from Wimbledon, who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, returned from bail on July 20.

She has been re-bailed to return at the end of September, the force said.

A major incident was declared in the wake of the crash which saw more than 30 police vehicles sent to the scene, and 15 ambulances.

Shortly after Selena’s death, her family paid moving tribute to her as an “intelligent and cheeky girl" who was “loved by everyone".

Nuria’s family described her as the “light of our lives”, saying she “embodied joy, kindness and generosity”.

The school 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.
