A car unexpectedly struck three pedestrians crossing outside the M&S store on Ealing Broadway during the incident on Saturday morning. All three were taken quickly to hospital. An ambulance got there in no time and police helped quickly the injured on the pavement. No one else was hurt.
Police closed the busy shopping stretch for safety while they began inquiries. The road stayed shut completely through the afternoon as officers kept thoroughly questioning the scene. Shoppers were sent another alternative way and traffic was rerouted, leaving the street calm and peaceful. The closure caused short brief delays for drivers.
