Two injured after car crashes into Piccadilly Circus roundabout
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said: 'We were called at 5.25am today (29 June) to reports of a road traffic collision on Piccadilly, W1J.
'We sent a number of resources, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer and members of our hazardous area response team (HART). We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London's Air Ambulance.
'Our first paramedic arrived on scene in less than four minutes.
'We treated two people. We took one patient to a major trauma centre and the other patient to a local hospital.'
'Worried about the driver'
Shamin Mollah, 41, who works at a City Sightseeing London booth overlooking the crash said: 'When I came to work at 9am it was very quiet. Only the police were here and they'd already set up the barricade.
'This area is busy 24/7. It would have been very dangerous. It's very sad.'
Rimi Caur, 29, a souvenir seller at a booth close to the crash site said: 'What can we do? We can't open our other shop on the other side [of Piccadilly Circus]. It's bad for business.
'We had one other crash last year [at Piccadilly Circus] but nothing else like this.
'Of course we are worried about the driver.'
