Police have arrested a 26-year-old on suspicion of drug driving after the accident that occurred on the Strand in central London. They have said that the incident is not being treated as terror-related.
According to a report by LBC News which cited a witness a few girls were hit. “I’m waiting for my friends to come out, they sound pretty shaken but I don’t know what they saw," the report quoted one witness as saying.
“The van came from one of the side roads by the Indian embassy and then at this point – I didn’t see how or when – it crashed into the people," the eyewitness, King’s College London student Miles Damone, said.
“I just saw it coming from there, made a sharp turn and just rammed into the fence. It rammed into the side of the church," he further added.
