Police have also said they 'have been made aware of extremely graphic footage of the incident circulating online', and urged the public not to share footage of the incident ;out of respect for the victims, and so as not to prejudice criminal proceedings'.
David Malone, deputy chief crown prosecutor in London North, said: "We remind all concerned that proceedings against the defendant are active and that she has the right to a fair trial.
"It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
According to the Daily Mail, one of the women who was involved in the collision was Klaudia Zakrzewska, a social media star known as Klaudiaglam.
They report the collision occurred outside London's Inca nightclub.
Carrington had been on The X-Factor in 2013 as part of the girl group Miss Dynamix where they reached the show's live finals.
Police have said that when the collision occurred there were nightclubs in the area still open and therefore they believe there will have been a number of witnesses to what happened.
Anyone with relevant information has been encouraged to contact the police.
