A tragic vehicle collision on The Strand in Westminster left a woman in her 20s dead and two other pedestrians injured, prompting an investigation by the police. Witnesses at the scene expressed shock and offered condolences, with one student initially mistaking the gathering for a protest. The police cordoned off the area and confirmed that the driver, a 26-year-old man, was arrested on charges related to careless driving and drug use. Emergency services responded swiftly, but the incident raised concerns about pedestrian safety in busy urban areas.
I was just walking out of class, at first I was disoriented, I thought it was a protest because it usually happens, but it's something else entirely.
Now knowing a woman has died is so sad and hard to process; my thoughts go out to her family and friends.
