The driver of a Land Rover that crashed into a school in Wimbledon, killing two children, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, the Metropolitan police have said.

Claire Freemantle, 48, previously expressed her “deepest sorrow” for the families of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, both eight, who “suffered such dreadful loss and injury” in the July 2023 incident at the Study Prep school in south-west London. Pupils at the school had been celebrating the last day of the summer term when the crash happened.
