London Police Release Man Detained in Crash in Museum District

by VOA News

   London police have released a 47-year-old man they had detained on
   suspicion of dangerous driving after his car veered off the pavement
   Saturday outside the city's Natural History Museum.

   Eleven people were hurt in the incident and nine were hospitalized.
   Officials said none of the injuries was life-threatening.

   Initially, the crash was thought to be a terrorist attack, but police
   later said, "The incident is a road traffic investigation and not a
   terrorist-related incident."

   Police said the man was released "under investigation" and did not
   reveal his identity.

   Britain is on its second-highest security alert level after five deadly
   attacks this year, three involving a vehicle, including attacks on
   pedestrians at Westminster and London Bridges.
