Several children remain in a critical condition in hospital after a Land Rover ploughed into an end-of-term tea party at a school in Wimbledon.
An 8-year-old girl, who has not been named, died at the scene.
Terrorism has been ruled out as a motive for the awful ordeal, and the woman behind the wheel is believed to have suffered a “medical incident”.
She has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Amongst the injured includes a baby, after the two-tonne 4×4 drove into the celebration at the all-girls prep school.
The car smashed through the school’s wooden fence at around 10am before crossing the grass, sending staff and students alike sprawling.
A witness, who drove past the school a matter of moments after the crash, told the Times that the scene was “very shocking”.
The 53-year-old man said: “The girls were screaming – it was harrowing. Everyone was rushing, saying a car had just driven into the grounds.”
MORE TO COME…
