According to BBC, this is being called a “major police incident.” One of its reporters was on the bridge at the time and said the man behind the wheel was “probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour.”
“He swerved right round me and then hit about five or six people. He hit about two people in front of me and then three behind,” reporter Holly Jones said.
