Likewise, Kelland requested that if anyone has information about what happened, they contact the authorities in a short time, and expressed his solidarity with the families affected by the event.
On the other hand, local sources indicated that this day would be the last day of classes of the school year, in a primary school for girls.
The area where the accident occurred is an area where children of school age, between four and eleven years old, study.
The Minister of the Interior, Suella Braverman, regretted the event and thanked the emergency services on her Twitter account. “It is important that they can now carry out their investigations,” she stressed.
