Police Reopen Investigation into Fatal Wimbledon School Crash

The initial probe into the crash that killed two girls was criticized for flaws, prompting a new inquiry by a specialist team.

The Metropolitan Police have reopened the investigation into the July 2023 crash at The Study Prep School in Wimbledon that killed two eight-year-old girls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau.
The initial investigation concluded that the driver, Claire Freemantle, had an epileptic seizure, leading to the decision not to press charges.
Families of the victims expressed dissatisfaction with the initial inquiry, citing unanswered questions and a lack of transparency.
A review revealed significant shortfalls in the original investigation, including missed opportunities to interview key witnesses and properly assess medical evidence.
The new investigation will be led by an experienced team specializing in homicide cases, aiming to address the families' concerns and uncover the full circumstances of the crash.
