CNN and various UK media are reporting that a black taxi cab mounted the pavement in London, injuring multiple people. Police are on site, and roads are blocked to traffic and pedestrians.
Authorities are saying this wasn’t a terror attack.
Nerves and security are high after a terror attack by a truck driver in New York that killed and injured cyclists in a bicycle lane, and others mowed down as the driver sped for 10 blocks. He was 29, claimed allegiance to ISIS, and that attack is considered terrorism.
Police on scene at Covent Garden dealing with serious injury accident involving a taxi. Not Terror related. Further updates will follow.
