A prominent social media influencer has tragically passed away after being struck by a vehicle outside a Soho nightclub in London.
Klaudiaglam, whose real name was Klaudia Zakrzewska, had been hospitalized in critical condition following the incident, which also left two other pedestrians injured. Authorities have now confirmed that she succumbed to her injuries.
The 32-year-old Instagram and TikTok personality, who had amassed over 250,000 followers, was at the Inca nightclub with friends on Saturday night when the collision occurred. Reports indicate that Klaudia had been involved in a heated argument outside the venue shortly before the crash.
A 29-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink driving. The suspect remains in police custody. Officials have emphasized that the incident is not being treated as a terrorist act.
Video footage circulating online shows a black vehicle striking a group gathered outside the club, with Klaudia seen being knocked down and pinned beneath the car. Another pedestrian, reportedly attempting to unlock an e-scooter, was also thrown by the impact.
In addition to Klaudia’s passing, a man in his 50s suffered life-changing injuries and was hospitalized, while a woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, leading the investigation, expressed condolences to Klaudia’s family and friends and urged the public to avoid speculation or sharing graphic content related to the incident. She stressed that such actions could hinder the ongoing investigation and affect future legal proceedings.
The suspect, identified as Gabrielle Carrington from Manchester, was charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink driving. Following Klaudia’s death, the attempted murder charge will be updated to murder. Carrington appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody, with a court appearance scheduled for mid-May.
Detective Foxwell appealed to witnesses or anyone with relevant information to come forward, emphasizing that even minor details could prove vital to the investigation. The community continues to mourn this tragic loss as the inquiry progresses.
