No Charges for Driver in Tragic Wimbledon School Crash

The UK's Crown Prosecution Service has decided not to charge the female driver who lost control of her vehicle due to an epileptic seizure, leading to the death of two eight-year-old schoolgirls, including Indian-origin Nuria Sajjad, in a freak accident at their school in Wimbledon, London.

The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced it will not charge the female driver involved in a tragic accident that resulted in the death of Indian-origin schoolgirl Nuria Sajjad and her classmate. A sudden epileptic fit caused the driver to lose control of her vehicle, crashing into Study Preparatory School in Wimbledon last July.

Jaswant Narwal, Chief Crown Prosecutor of the CPS London Homicide Unit, called the incident an 'unthinkable tragedy' but deemed it not in the public interest to pursue criminal charges after a thorough investigation. 'The driver had an epileptic seizure behind the wheel,' Narwal stated, noting there was no prior indication or diagnosis of such a condition.

Freemantle, the mid-40s driver, voluntarily surrendered her license and, per her diagnosis, must be seizure-free for a year before reapplying. Nuria's parents had criticized the lengthy investigation, claiming 'justice has neither been done, nor has been seen to be done today,' expressing deep grief over the loss.
