Second girl, 8, dies after Wimbledon school car crash
Nuria Sajjad, 8, has died from her injuries after a car crashed into a school in Wimbledon, south-west London on Thursday.
She is the second victim of the incident. Selena Lau, 8, was named as the first victim last week.
The Met Police released a statement from Sajjad’s family on Sunday. The family described the young girl as the “light of our lives.”
She “embodied joy, kindness and generosity and she was loved by all around her,” the statement added.
Nuria’s family said they were announcing the news with “profound sorrow”, and made a request for privacy.
The family statement thanked emergency services and those working at St George’s Hospital as well as the parents of Nuria’s classmates and school staff.
Several people were taken to hospital after the crash at The Study Preparatory School which involved a Land Rover.
A woman in her 40s remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The driver of the Land Rover, a woman, 46, has been bailed until late July, having been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The crash is not being treated as terror-related.
