BREAKING: Emergency services are dealing with an incident on the river Thames at Westminster Bridge in central London 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Five officers have been injured after a police boat struck Westminster Bridge on the River Thames. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said ‘they do not believe any members of the public were involved or injured’

Yet another government agency that doesn't know how to handle small boats

I’m here right now.

Comments locked very shortly, as per government orders.

It was all blibs and blobs

You only crash a boat on the Thames when you’re pissed!

How on earth do you manage to hit something as big as the Westminster Bridge!

Involving a police boat carrying armed officers apparently Very odd! Sounds serious do hope all involved are ok

some african tourists see a dinghy that was going by and jumped into the river to try and get on it, force of habit

Terrorist Muslims?

The might need to provide more traning in how to recognise bridges and structures that don’t move

Hope all are ok…Xxx

Blimey, seems like there's been a right old incident on Westminster Bridge, hope everyone's okay!.

Was Uncle Albert at the helm?

I suspect it struck something else before the bridge that damaged it

Are you asking us to show some sympathy to police ? 🤣 funny fucker 🤣

diversity makes good seamanship

Probably a woman at the helm.

Police boat hit bridge 🤯

I literally watched the police boat cruise at full speed through the river from another boat, what the fuck were they thinking?

Someone not lookng where they were going

Democracy is happening in india. #StudentsProtests

Is it one of the dinghy’s that have just arrived from France? 👉

Stopped that boat alright

Bloody hell, Thames on chaos duty again.

I 7j no

Idiots.

At least PM’s nearby leading the country

river closed or just bridge cordon

Not again surely
