A second little girl has died after a car crash at a school in Wimbledon last week.
Nuria Sajjad, who was aged just eight, died yesterday (July 9), days after the horror smash in London. Her parents have paid tribute to the little girl, calling Nuria the “light of their lives”.
Nuria is the second child to have died after a car ploughed into a school on Thursday (July 6). Last week, Selena Lau was named as the tragedy’s first victim. A number of others, including a seven-month-old baby, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
