In the early hours of Sunday, 19 April, a tragic run-over incident unfolded on Argyll Street in Westminster. Three people were struck by a Mercedes driven by British lifestyle influencer and entrepreneurGabrielle Carrington, better known by her online monikerRIELLEUK.

Among those injured was fashion model and influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska, 29, known to her followers asKlaudia Glam. The incident, which reportedly stemmed from a physical altercation, escalated into a violent collision that has resulted in Carrington facing charges of attempted murder. As the digital world reels from the shock of the event, conflicting information regarding Zakrzewska's status has further fuelled speculation, with unverified claims of the influencer's death surfacing across social media, especially on X.

Reports and footage circulating online suggest that Carrington and Zakrzewska were involved in a heated exchange before the collision. At approximately 4:30 AM, Carrington stepped away from a group of bystanders and headed to her car. An onlooker can be heard screaming, 'Don't run her over,' before Carrington's car accelerated toward the crowd.

The vehicle struck Zakrzewska, who was standing in front of the car, and collided with two other individuals standing nearby. Zakrzewska was dragged further when the car reversed. Carrington briefly exited the vehicle and appeared to check on her before being pulled away from the scene by another person.

The collision left a man in his 50s with what police describe as 'life-changing injuries'. A third victim, a woman in her 30s, was treated for minor injuries and has since been discharged.

The Metropolitan Police arrived swiftly at the scene. Carrington was detained and remains in custody. A spokesperson for the Met confirmed: 'A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and dangerous driving following a serious collision in Westminster.'

Authorities are urging witnesses to come forward as the investigation continues. Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, from Specialist Crime South, said, 'I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision, or any activity prior to it that they feel may be of relevance, to come forward.' They emphasised that minor details can be crucial in establishing a clear timeline of the incident.

Carrington is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court as the investigation continues.
