A police spokesperson confirmed the timeline of events, stating: "At 00:13hrs on Wednesday, 1 January, a vehicle was involved in a collision with a pedestrian at the junction of Regent's Park Road and Primrose Hill Road." This indicates the seriousness of the incident as it occurred right after New Year celebrations began.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop at the scene, making off along Primrose Hill Road where a second pedestrian was subsequently struck. This chain of events highlights the chaotic atmosphere as the crowd dispersed.
Met Police officers, who were part of the New Year’s Eve policing operation in the area, were fortunate to be nearby as they quickly located the vehicle involved in the collisions.
Despite the alarming events, it has been confirmed that this is not being treated as a terrorist incident, offering some reassurance to the public amidst the panic.
