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. Road closures remained in place as of 1pm on Sunday, they added. “Enquiries into the circumstances continue. At this stage, the incident is not being treated as terror-related.” There was no update on the patients’ conditions. A London ambulance service spokesperson said: “We sent a large number of resources to the scene, including eight ambulance crews, three incident response officers, two advanced paramedics, two emergency planning officers, a command support team and members of our hazardous area response team (HART). “We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s air ambulance, which included a doctor and a paramedic in a car. We treated eight patients at the scene. We took three of the patients to major trauma centres and the other five to local hospitals.”
