Car hits people in London

An incident outside a London museum that left 11 people injured was not terror-related, the BBC reports as police say.

A car hit several people outside the Natural History Museum in Exhibition Road, South Kensington, at 14:20 BST.

The Metropolitan Police said one person had been detained and video footage that emerged on Twitter showed a man being restrained on the ground.

An update from the force said the incident was now being treated as "a road traffic collision".

London Ambulance said the people it treated had mostly sustained head and leg injuries. Nine were taken to hospital.

A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister is "being kept up to date on events".

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted: "Very concerning reports from outside the Natural History Museum. My thoughts are with those injured and our thanks to the emergency services."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted that details were "still emerging" and he was in close contact with Assistant Metropolitan Commissioner Mark Rowley - the head of UK counter-terrorism policing.

"Police have asked people to avoid the area while their inquiries continue," he added, the BBC reports.
