The police watchdog’s looking into complaints against 11 officers over their handling of an initial investigation into a crash at a school on Wimbledon Common.

Two children, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, died and more than a dozen people were injured after a Land Rover smashed through a fence at The Study Prep school July 2023.  Several others were injured.

The IOPC says it’s also investigating allegations officers provided false and misleading information to those affected.

An initial investigation into the collision by the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command resulted in a direction from the Crown Prosecution Service  that the driver should face no further action.

After concerns were raised by the families of Nuria and Selena about the outcome, it was agreed the Met’s Specialist Crime Review Group would carry out a review of the investigation. That review identified further lines of enquiry and a decision was subsequently taken to launch a reinvestigation in October 2024, under the Specialist Crime Command.

In July 2025 the Met received a complaint from the families about various aspects of the initial investigation. Separately, through the course of their enquiries, the team reinvestigating the collision had also identified a number of issues relating to the first investigation. The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards  made a referral to the IOPC which confirmed it would independently investigate the matter.

As part of their investigation, the IOPC is investigating complaints against 11 officers.

Four serving officers and one former officer have been served with notices informing them that their conduct is being investigated at the level of gross misconduct. These officers are a commander, detective chief inspector, detective sergeant, detective constable, and a former detective inspector.

A further two officers, detective constables, are under investigation for misconduct.

The serving of notices does not mean that misconduct proceedings will necessarily follow.

During the Met’s reinvestigation, the team pursued new lines of enquiry and arrested a woman last year. Following these enquiries, officers submitted a full file of evidence to the CPS on 17 March 2026. Prosecutors continue to consider this evidence and will be making a decision in due course.

Commander Charmain Brenyah, who leads the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “Our thoughts remain with Nuria and Selena’s families, as well as everyone who has been impacted by this terrible tragedy. We understand this prolonged process has compounded their grief and suffering.

“It is right that our initial handling of this incident be independently scrutinised, and we will provide every assistance to the IOPC as their investigation continues.”
