, from parliament square.ards chelsea? that's right, it would appear the car order passed the main gates of parliament, which was the focus of the khalid masood attack in march last year, and it looks to be that the car has stopped in an area which is approaching the place where vehicles would be stopped searching before going on to park for the house of lords. now obviously parliament is in recess at the moment, no political activity going on there, which i suppose adds another dimension to this. we still don't know exactly what has happened with this car, but the fact it has crashed into barriers means it's being taken very seriously. eyewitnesses say several cyclists have been injured. anyone travelling that route to work, you would normally see hundreds of cyclists now travelling down past there because it is a short cut through from embankment to get towards the city. richard lister, our news correspondent with us in the studio, just talking through the latest development as we understand it. still very m

so that car came from parliament square, which is just above, and the came from parliament square, whichove, and the picture emerging is that it crashed into a number of pedestrians, some of whom are injured, but we are told by the metropolitan police they are not life—threatening injuries. then it had towards those barriers. at least two eyewitnesses said they believed that the individual driving the car was driving at speed and they felt it was a deliberate direct hit. one woman told the press association, i think it looked intentional, the car drove at speed towards the barriers. i was walking on the other side of road, i heard someone scream, i turned around and i saw a silver car very fast close to the railings, maybe even on the pavement. the other eyewitness spoke to our correspondencejohnson other eyewitness spoke to our correspondence johnson blake, other eyewitness spoke to our correspondencejohnson blake, who was at the scene, and he said i saw a man driving towards the houses of parliament at speed. he drove into a bollard, right outside the houses of parliament, and in my op

the police guarding parliament, they we re police guarding parliament, they were there within secondsk? we gather and three were injured, one is still in hospital, but not serious injuries, that's what we're told. i pray they're 0k, it's not nice, going to work and hit bya it's not nice, going to work and hit by a terrorist, it's not acceptable, it needs to stop. something needs to be done by government. they're having a laugh, they are attacking the government. i'm not saying it should be a tourist spot, though it is, it's just difficult times. we're approaching 2019, this has been going on now, similar attacks have been going on for at least 18 months. jason williams, thank you so much. that is the latest and as we heard earlier, at man in his early 20s still being questioned by police ata 20s still being questioned by police at a police station in south london. one of those with hit with non—serious injuries. there is a sense of relief that if this was a terrorist attack, it could have been so much worse. we will of course return to ben at westminster shortly, but bringing you up t

but it has led to chaos, clearly, for people who work in parliament today.for them to do it from home. but the only people who would be in parliament at 7:30am during a recess would be cleaners and people working in the restaurants. the chances of any members of parliament or any members of government being on site is particularly scarce, i would say. and also, when he rammed into the barrier, where was he going to go next? if this was a terrorist attack. because if he had got through that barrier, then the chances of him getting the vehicle any further is incredibly remote because there is further barriers all the way along that route. so the security that is there clearly worked today and i am really grateful for the security forces for doing what they did, but clearly it is going to reignite debate as to the security of parliament for the people who work there and, i am sure that pedestrianisation of parliament square and which vehicles should be able to access so closely parliament will be reignited, i am absolutely certain about that. and security was t

given that this whole area behind me leading up to parliament square has been cordoned off by police and with police cars standing there and police officers on the ground investigating this situation and it is our understanding that this area is going to remain closed for the time being it has to be said that when this incident unraveled these days the parliament is not in session there in summer recess so no m.p.'s were out at the place of the incident however when this car did first. they hit several cyclists and then smash into security barriers earlier today at seven thirty seven am. there were still lots and lots of people in this area this is an area that's traditionally topped with tourists getting to parliament square this is really the heart of london this is also a very busy area on any given morning with lots of people trying to get to work so in terms of this latest incident we do know that the counterterrorism unit of the metropolitan police is investigating this incident and they are treating it as an incident linked to terrorism but. to get any kind of more details for
