In a devastating turn of events, a second eight-year-old girl has succumbed to her injuries after a car crashed into Study Prep School in Wimbledon, South London. The incident occurred on Thursday during an end-of-term tea party that students, parents, and teachers were enjoying in the school garden. The school is situated less than a mile away from the ongoing tennis tournament.
Authorities have revealed that the driver, a 46-year-old woman from the local area, was promptly arrested at the scene under suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. However, law enforcement clarified that the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related.
