Prosecutors said she had suffered an epileptic fit behind the wheel and it would not be in the public interest to bring criminal charges.
The driver of a car that crashed into a school killing two eight-year-old girls will face no criminal charges after it was found she had suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel.
“We remain unconvinced that the Crown Prosecution Service have reached a decision based on all the facts. Justice has neither been done, nor has been seen to be done today.Prosecutors found that the driver of the car, Claire Freemantle, had never had an epileptic seizure before and was in good health before the crash.
“I have since been diagnosed as having suffered an epileptic seizure with loss of consciousness. This was not a pre-existing condition. As a result of losing consciousness I have no recollection of what took place. “My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of the children and families affected, and especially to the parents of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau.”The school had been celebrating the last day of the summer term when the tragedy unfolded on July 6 last year.
“Nuria and Selena’s lives were taken in a moment. So many lives were also irreparably shattered in that moment. “We have been disappointed by this system. We have already expressed, publicly, our dissatisfaction with the pace of the investigative process.
