Driver rearrested in crash killing two eight-year-old girls

The investigation into the tragic crash that killed two eight-year-old girls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, at a primary school in Wimbledon has been reopened amid concerns about the original police inquiry. The driver, Claire Freemantle, 48, was initially not charged after claiming she suffered an epileptic seizure, but following pressure from the victims' families, the Metropolitan Police conducted a review that identified further lines of inquiry. Freemantle has since been rearrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released on bail. The girls died on July 6, 2023, during a tea party celebrating the end of the school year when the Land Rover crashed into the school playground. Families of the victims have expressed their hope for a thorough investigation to uncover the full facts surrounding the tragedy. The police are appealing for witnesses to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation.
