Pedestrians in the West End of London were taken to hospital after a car crashed into a bus stop in the early hours of Sunday morning, with a man in his 20s arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
Paramedics said that eight of the pedestrians had been taken to hospital – with three people in major trauma centres – after a Range Rover careered off the road in Aldwych, near the Indian High Commission, after a night of Halloween festivities in the capital.
Police said they were called at about 3.35am “to reports of a car in collision with a number of pedestrians at a bus stop”. A spokesperson said that the man had been arrested at the scene and had been taken to hospital as a precaution.
