The families of two young girls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, who tragically lost their lives in a school car crash in Wimbledon, have expressed their disappointment and criticized the decision not to charge the driver responsible for the incident.
In a statement released by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), it was revealed that the driver, Claire Freemantle, suffered from an epileptic seizure at the time of the accident, causing her to lose control of the vehicle. The CPS stated that after a detailed examination of Ms. Freemantle’s medical records, it was determined that she could not have predicted or prevented the incident, as she had no history of similar seizures or previously diagnosed medical conditions.
The parents of Nuria and Selena expressed their disappointment in the CPS’ decision, stating that they felt justice had not been served for their daughters. They questioned the thoroughness of the investigation and emphasized that their children were in a safe environment at the time of the incident, celebrating a day filled with joy.
Police and CPS Communication
Detective Chief Superintendent Clair Kelland, who was present with the families when the CPS relayed its decision, offered to meet with them to answer any questions they may have had. The CPS acknowledged the tragic nature of the event but emphasized that pursuing criminal charges against Ms. Freemantle was not in the public interest due to the unforeseeable nature of the seizure.
Claire Freemantle expressed her deepest sorrow over the deaths of Nuria and Selena, stating that she had no recollection of the events that transpired after losing consciousness during the seizure. She extended her sympathies to the families affected by the tragedy and expressed profound regret for the loss and injuries suffered as a result of the accident.
The tragic school car crash in Wimbledon that claimed the lives of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau has left their families devastated and searching for closure. The decision not to charge the driver responsible for the incident has sparked criticism and raised questions about the adequacy of the investigation. Despite the CPS’ explanation regarding the driver’s medical condition and the unforeseeable nature of the seizure, the families of the young girls feel that justice has yet to be served. The road ahead for the families as they navigate the aftermath of this heartbreaking event remains uncertain, but their voices will continue to be heard as they seek accountability and closure in the wake of this unimaginable tragedy.
