This happened like down the road from me, all I heard for the last hour was helicopters and ambulances.

Really hoping that the drivers breaks have gone and it is not intentional.
Sad, hopefully no ones badly hurt, it's amazing how quickly the police can respond, really makes you proud to be a Londoner

Genuinely had the same thought. Hopefully it wasn't. So many people visit that Museum regularly majority of them are families.
I think the good thing is that there hasn't been any major injuries reported so far so that's a relied

If you have brake problems I'm pretty sure that it isn't standard practice to mount the pavement, after all it's a lot safer to rear end another vehicle or crash into t a tree than drive down a pavement with people on it.

Looking at the pictures published so far it makes a change that the driver wasn't an arab.
BBC News reporting that it's not being treated as a terrorist attack.

Edit: They seem to have backtracked on that and are saying they don't know.

Armed police on scene
Thankfully no one's seriously injured. Such a nice museum, has an earthquake simulator as well; one of the best things about London is we've got so many free museums, art galleries etc. And the police response is amazing as well. Really grateful that I live here.

Hope everyone's okay! Imperial's main entrance is closed
Proud to be a Londoner, look how quickly the met responded, people reassured and stations reopened within two hours. Honestly feel safer here than anywhere else in the world. The police are truly an example to the world
I really wonder who the culprit can be....:hmmmm:

Translation: the guy was white, and nobody has decided if white people can be terrorists at the Tory Broadcasting Corporation.
