LONDON (Reuters) -British police said on Thursday they were responding to a serious collision involving a car at a primary school in Wimbledon, south London, which had injured several people but was not believed to be terror-related.
A car collided with a building at the school in Camp Road and several people were being treated at the scene, police said.
“We are not treating this incident as terror-related,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement. “An investigation is under way to understand the full circumstances of what has taken place.”
Ambulances, including the air ambulance service, and fire officers were also in attendance.
The Study Prep Wimbledon school, which is located on Camp Road, declined to comment when asked about the incident.
Camp Road is about a mile from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club where the Wimbledon Grand Slam championship is taking place.
