Looks brutal

There are people being treated 100 yards from where the lorry eventually crashed though which is slightly strange.

I've seen a restaurant owner quoted as saying it seems the driver suffered a heart attack which would probably explain injuries prior to the main collision.

Terrible news though, even worse when you consider the timing

Everyone is surprised at the response to the Emergency services. Why?

Probably because it was almost instantaneous.

It's in the city centre. Pretty sure there were some form of emergency services near the incident and/or cctv operators being aware of it.

Unfortunately for that comparison, the Glasgow one wasn't reported to have been shouting about God in Arabic before crashing.

The France thing isn't linked whatsoever.

Why has anything that happens these days have terrorism attached to it?
