According to the Daily Mirror, the collision occurred on Argyll Street in Soho in the early hours of Sunday morning, involving a car and pedestrians. The Daily Mirror reports that social media star Klaudia Zakrzewska, known as Klaudiaglam, was left in a serious condition after being hit by the car and remains in a life-threatening condition. In the same incident, a man in his 50s sustained life-changing injuries and was taken to hospital, while a third woman in her 30s was treated for minor injuries.

A video circulating online appears to show the moment a black car drove into a group of people in the London street, the Daily Mirror states. The arrested woman is Gabrielle Carrington, 29, a former X Factor star turned influencer known as RIELLEUK, according to the Daily Mirror. Carrington has been charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, and drink driving, the Daily Mirror reports.

She has been remanded in custody ahead of her first appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, 21 April, and the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related. Carrington was part of the girl group Miss Dynamix on X Factor in 2013, the Daily Mirror notes. Klaudia Zakrzewska had been at the Inca nightclub with friends on that night, according to the Daily Mirror.

The exact cause or motive behind the collision remains unclear, and the current medical prognosis for Zakrzewska and the man with life-changing injuries has not been disclosed.
