Residents living close to a school in which an eight-year-old girl was killed when a Land Rover smashed through the wall were paying tribute to her in recent days. The former students at the school were among those paying their respects.
After the police barricade was removed, people began leaving flowers and messages of condolence at the Wimbledon school.
A girl of eight years old and a woman who is in her forties are both still in extremely severe condition.
A woman, age 46, who was apprehended on accusations of causing death through unsafe driving, was recently released on bond after her case was brought to court.
2015 was the first year that Amelia, now 19 years old, joined The Study Preparatory School. On Saturday afternoon, she as well as her brother paid their condolences by laying flowers at the scene of the accident.
She stated that she believes the Study to be a close-knit community, and since it is a relatively small school, even though some people have left, we are still all together.
Because it is not only a school but also a community, we felt it was important to come and pay our respects.
According to Max Austin, an elected official for Wimbledon, his sister used to go to the tournament as well.
This is often a really joyous time in this town; everything is decked out for the tennis tournament, and the local schools and students participate in the festivities. According to him, the joyous spirit of Wimbledon is in stark contrast to the current situation, which creates a type of crude juxtaposition.
In a statement that was made public previously, Selena’s relatives referred to her as an intellectual and mischievous young girl. After the Land Rover went over the gate and inside the premises, there was a tea party going on at the school in southwest London because it was the end of the school year.
A family that included a little toddler paid tribute at the site of the accident and mentioned that everyone had been impacted by it.
They added that everyone is wondering how something like this could have taken place.
According to Thomas Barlow, the council member for Wimbledon Village, everyone was startled, and it was horrifying that it might have occurred on the last day of the school year.
He stated that the entire community was in disbelief because a significant number of residents had ties to the school.
