A police officer could be seen close to tears this afternoon as she confirmed the death of an eight-year-old girl in the Wimbledon school crash tragedy.
Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Superintendent Clair Kelland was clearly emotional as she spoke at a press conference near The Study Prep School on Thursday, along with other members of the emergency services and a school governor.
She described the news of a young girl's death as "tragic" and said the force's "thoughts are with the girl’s family and friends, and everyone affected today."
