Eyewitness Ewalina Ochab said: "I think it looked intentional - the car drove at speed and towards the barriers.
"I was walking on the other side [of the road]. I heard some noise and someone screamed. I turned around and I saw a silver car driving very fast close to the railings, maybe even on the pavement."

She also said the vehicle did not appear to have a front registration plate when it crashed.

"I think it's not a regular traffic accident, because there's a barrier there. So I don't know why someone would drive into the barrier.
"I saw someone was arrested, but I couldn't see him closely. He was taken away very quickly."
He also said officers had their guns out when they arrested the driver.
Jason Williams, who lives in the area, told Sky News: "I saw the crash, it was actually behind me. I thank God I wasn't hit, I'm so shocked. It happened so quickly… I saw one man in the car.
"It seemed like something that was planned, not a road traffic accident… I could see smoke coming from the bonnet of the car.
"I'm a local resident and a father of two young boys - it's a scary world.
"This is something, in my opinion, planned and very sinister."
