Driver who crashed into Wimbledon school killing two girls will not face charges after having epileptic fit
Air ambulance takes off at Wimbledon primary school crash
The driver of a car that crashed into a school, killing two eight-year-old girls, will face no criminal charges after it was found she had suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel.
Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau died and several others were injured when the 4x4 crashed through a fence and collided with a building in Wimbledon, southwest London.
The driver of the car, which hit the Study Prep School on 6 July last year, expressed her “deepest sorrow” and said she had no recollection of what took place.
But Trevor Sterling, a lawyer for the families, said of the decision: “This is disappointing; justice must not only be done, but seen to be done.
“In the absence of a process, how do we interrogate the evidence? What does this message send to the public that deaths can arise in a road traffic situation, and there could be no sanction because there is no process to interrogate the evidence?”
