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.

The London Ambulance Service was responding to the incident.

Britain has been on a "severe" terrorist threat level and a massive police response followed the traffic incident.
