London — British emergency services raced to London’s Natural History Museum after a car struck pedestrians Saturday outside the building. Police said a number of people were injured and one person was detained at the scene.

The crash happened at 2:20 p.m. on a day when the central London museum is usually teeming with pedestrians, including international tourists.

Photographs showed a dented silver car and a man being pinned to the ground outside the museum. Witness Katie Craine said she was coming out of the museum when she saw a man in handcuffs pinned down by police near a damaged car.

“He looked really proud of himself,” she said. “He was laughing.”

British officials, however, have not classified the incident as a terrorist act...

I'm hoping and raying: that it won't be necessary to start a thread later today, but in recent days there have been "threats" targeting the Michigan/Michigan State football game tonight in Ann Arbor. DH hung our Michigan banner on the porch, and we will be watching the game in the comfort of our own home. GO BLUE!

The incident in #ExhibitionRoad #SouthKensington earlier is not being treated as a terror-related incident. It is a road traffic collision.

Thank you CARIIS. My first reaction is "I quit". SO incredibly sick of this crap keeping happening.

My reaction is usually, "I want a new rock to live on"

Hurry it up, NASA. I'm ready to move.

Car Hits London Pedestrians But Terror Not Suspected
by Reuters

LONDON — Several pedestrians were injured near the city's Natural History Museum on Saturday, police officials said, but authorities said it was a traffic collision and were not treating the incident as terrorism-related.

British media reported a car had mounted the sidewalk outside the tourist attraction, and a man was detained after the incident.

In a Twitter post, London's Metropolitan Police described the incident in the South Kensington area of west London as a road traffic collision.

A spokesman later said the incident was not being treated as terrorism-related at this stage. Police originally said a man was arrested at the scene but later clarified he had only been detained...
