Alexandra Stemp identified as victim of Tuesday collision at Wonderland and Riverside

Eight-year-old Alexandra Stemp has been identified as the victim of Tuesday night's collision on Riverside Drive, which left nine other pedestrians injured.

Stemp was a student at Westmount Public School, where a note was sent home with children on Wednesday. 

"On behalf of the Westmount Public School community, we express our deepest sympathy to the Stemp family," the principal wrote in her message. "We know that this loss may impact students in different ways. As you deem appropriate, please share this information with your child(ren)."

Members of the school board's traumatic events response team are available at the school for staff and students, and a guide for how to talk to children about trauma was sent home to parents. 

Stemp was killed when a driver heading west on Riverside Drive struck a vehicle stopped at a red light on Wonderland Road on Tuesday shortly before 7 p.m. The car then struck a light pole, a small tree, and mounted the curb and hit a group of pedestrians, including a number of Girl Guides. 

Multiple people were taken to hospital with injuries ranging from minor to serious. 

A 76-year-old woman was driving the vehicle involved in the collision. She was not taken to hospital. 

So far, police have not announced any charges. Police have also said the collision does not appear to be an intentional act and that the crash will take several weeks to investigate. 

People have been expressing their condolences for the Stemp family by lighting blue candles on social media, a symbol of friendship and togetherness for Girl Guides around the world. 

London Mayor Ed Holder said city hall and other City of London buildings will be illuminated in blue tonight and throughout the weekend in memory of Alexandra Stemp. 

"While we pay tribute to the young girl, and grieve with her family, I ask that Londoners also keep those who continue to recover in hospital in their thoughts," Holder said in a statement. "Londoners who wish to join in this tribute can safely light a blue candle on their porch, or hang something blue in their windows."

Holder added: "As I've said too often recently, we are not just a city — we are family. Family grieves together. And family heals together."

More to come.
