Sadiq Khan Pushes for Quicker Investigations of Child Crash Deaths

Sadiq Khan is urging the Metropolitan Police to expedite investigations into fatal road accidents involving children. This follows a meeting with the families of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, who died in a crash at a Wimbledon school. The year-long investigation was delayed due to a shortage of forensic collision investigators.

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, is urging the Metropolitan Police to expedite investigations into fatal road accidents involving children.

This move follows a meeting with the families of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, both aged eight, who died in a crash at the Study prep school in Wimbledon, south-west London.

The driver responsible was found to have had an epileptic seizure.

The families, along with their lawyer Trevor Sterling, expressed concerns over the year-long investigation, prompting Khan to consider an expedited protocol for such cases.

Met Commissioner Mark Rowley attributed the delay to a shortage of forensic collision investigators.
