Battersea Park Road crash: Four people in hospital after Ferrari ploughs into pedestrians | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Four people are being treated in hospital after a car ploughed into a group of pedestrians in London. | |
Police, including a horse unit, ambulances and the air ambulance was dispatched to Battersea Park Road in south west London shortly before 10.30am. | |
A Met Police spokesman said: "Police in Wandsworth are dealing with a road traffic collision. | |
Police were called at 10.29am on Monday, 12 December, to Battersea Park Road, SW8, to reports of a collision between a car and a number of pedestrians. | |
"London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance are in attendance. Four people were reported to have been injured. | |
"Conditions of the injured awaits. Road closures are in place while emergency services deal. The driver stopped at the scene. Enquires continue." | |
The injured was previously estimated at six people. | |
Luke Watling, the general manager at The Mason's Arms pub in the road, said: "There are a lot of police cars outside Battersea Dogs & Cats Home so I imagine it's very serious. | |
"The road is closed from the Queenstown Road junction to the dogs home so I can imagine it's caused a lot of confusion." | |
Zoe Saxby, a bar steward at Flanagans, said a Ferrari, travelling southbound, mounted the pavement on the bridge that runs over the railway, around 50 metres away from the pub. | |
"It mounted the pavement, it has gone over the bridge and it has gone into a parked car," she said. | |
