Hitting 14 people before it crashed. Judging by the state of the car before it hit the bollards, I'd say they were quite large people he hit.

Bet the Cyclist went for a stiff drink afterwards

That cyclist was soooooo fortunate to have seen it coming, looked like the car still clipped the back wheel..!

The state of the car gives you some idea of the carnage it must have inflicted on the crowd it drove through.

Amazed (and glad) that more weren't killed..!

I've said this many times before, one of the things we all take for granted and see 100's of every day can be just as a deadly a weapon as any gun or knife..!

Looks like it was rolling rather than being driven....handbrake left off and left to roll down a hill maybe? (intentionally or not).

It seems they have the arsehole that did this!

He should have been burnt on the statue that he crashed into!
