Social media influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska died six days after being hit by a car outside a nightclub in London. The Essex resident was taken to hospital following the accident which occurred at 04:30 BST on Argyll Street in Soho on Sunday 19 April 2026.
The injuries proved fatal and the 32-year-old influencer died on Saturday, April 25, 2026. Klaudia had more than 367,000 followers on Instagram.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell expressed her grief and deepest condolences to Klaudia’s family and friends. She said: “Our thoughts are also with everyone affected by this.”
Klaudia’s mother described the late social media personality as someone with a pure heart, adding: “This is the most devastating time our family has ever faced. Those who know me understand how much I love my daughter and the special bond we have.”
The accident also caused injuries to several other people, including an elderly man who suffered life-changing injuries and a woman who suffered a minor wrist injury.
A 29-year-old woman named Gabrielle Carrington, who was driving the car, was arrested and charged with attempted murder; however, the charge has now been amended to murder.
She was also charged with drink driving, dangerous driving and grievous bodily harm with intent and actual harm.
