One local resident described the scene in the immediate aftermath: “I didn’t see it happen, I just heard a loud bang and a lot of screaming and came to the window. Absolutely enormous presence. 10+ ambulances, 10+ police cars and two or three fire engines. As far as I can tell, a car mounted the pavement through a scaffolding tunnel for about 50 metres.”
