Published 3 hours agoAn 8-year-old girl was killed on Thursday when an SUV crashed into a private elementary school on a very narrow road in the Wimbledon district of southwest London, police said. 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.”
