Several people hurt as car hits Wimbledon Primary School

Seven people, including two children, were hurt when a car struck a school building in London.

The Study Preparatory School on Camp Road in Wimbledon was struck by a Land Rover.

Girls between the ages of four and eleven can receive instruction at the £16,000 per year institution.

Several of the injured are in critical condition, a local MP has said.

Scotland Yard said in a statement: ‘Officers remain at the scene of a serious collision at a primary school in Wimbledon.

‘Police were called at 09:54hrs on Thursday July 6 to reports that a car collided with a building at the school in Camp Road.

The driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene, the force added. There have been no arrests.

The Study is located less than a mile from where the Wimbledon Tournament is taking place.

Stephen Hammond, the Conservative MP for Wimbledon, described the crash as an ‘Extraordinarily distressing and tragic incident on the last day of term… there has actually been a major incident declared.

‘The air ambulance, the ambulance, the fire services, and the police are all in attendance.’

Speaking to BBC News, Mr Hammond added: ‘The size of the response tells you how serious the incident is and there are a number of casualties, and I understand that a number of those are being treated as critical.’
