LONDON – British police declared a “major incident” Saturday night after multiple people were reported to have been injured when a van veered into pedestrians on London Bridge. Witnesses reported that a white van was traveling fast — approximately 50 mph — when it mounted the sidewalk and plowed into a group of people crossing the Thames River on foot. Holly Jones, a BBC reporter who was on the bridge at the time, said five people were being treated for injuries. The incident comes less than two weeks after 22 people were killed in a bomb blast following a Manchester concert. And it comes three months after a driver killed four pedestrians on another Thames crossing, Westminster Bridge.
