Claire Freemantle, 49, has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and seven counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving following the crash at The Study Prep school in Wimbledon in July 2023. Schoolgirls Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, both eight, died when the 4×4 struck the school during celebrations for the last day of summer term. The charges come after families criticised the Metropolitan Police investigation, which initially concluded the driver had suffered an epileptic seizure and would face no criminal charges. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating officers for alleged racism and misconduct.
