LONDON — An 8-year-old girl was killed and 15 people were injured Thursday when an SUV crashed into a private elementary school on a narrow road in southwest London as the children were celebrating the end of the school year. The crash wasn’t believed to be terrorism, and the driver was taken into custody.
“Our thoughts are with her family at this incredibly difficult time,” said a visibly shaken Kelland, who is the Metropolitan Police force’s local commander for southwest London. “The driver of a car, a woman in her 40s, stopped at the scene and has since been arrested for causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody.”
Dr. John Martin, chief paramedic for the London Ambulance Service, said that 16 people were treated at the scene for injuries, including the girl who died. He said 10 of the injured were later taken to a hospital. It was not immediately clear how many of the injured were children, though police indicated in an early update that at least seven children had been hurt.
Stephen Hammond, Wimbledon’s representative in Parliament, said the children were having a party when the incident happened.
