A car struck three pedestrians on Main Street in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, on New Year's Eve, leaving two people with serious injuries. The incident occurred shortly before 6pm, prompting a large emergency response.
East Midlands Ambulance Service dispatched three ambulances, and the injured were taken to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. Police believe the driver suffered a medical episode at the wheel, which may have caused the crash. The motorist is also believed to have been injured.
A witness from nearby Heron Foods, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 'We heard a bang. We went outside and next thing we know there were about 15 police cars. The cordon was moved further down the road.' A resident in his 70s added: 'It's been like this for a few hours now. I need to get to Home Bargains, but if people are hurt, it's obviously important they keep it closed.'
Main Street was closed in both directions between Station Road and Highbury Road, causing traffic queues from Jennison Street to Ravensworth Road. Nottinghamshire Police advised motorists to avoid the area while investigations continue. A visibly damaged car remained within the cordon outside the Home Bargains store.
