Overview

• The crash occurred in July 2023 when a Land Rover Defender drove into The Study Prep School in Wimbledon, killing two eight-year-old girls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, during an end-of-term event.
• The driver was initially arrested at the scene but faced no charges after it was determined she had experienced an epileptic seizure for the first time while driving.
• A review by the Specialist Crime Review Group found significant shortcomings in the original investigation, prompting the case to be reopened in October 2024 under the Specialist Crime Command.
• The driver was re-arrested on January 28, 2025, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody as the new investigation progresses.
• Police have appealed for witnesses who were in the area at the time, particularly those who may have seen the distinctive gold Land Rover Defender prior to the collision.
