A Police Officer and a civilian woman are reported as dead and several other casualties with "catastrophic injuries". Sounds as if some form of attack using a vehicle on Westminster Bridge was involved.

Four dead, attacker not named, French children injured, will play to Marine, ill wild. Hope those injured get speedy recovery, although I hear the policeman murdered was given mouth to mouth for fifteen minutes, what happened to ambulance service.

c1 - I personally wouldn't rush to criticism of the ambulance service till we have more detailed reports.

As far as I can see they did not hesitate in going into what was obviously a very dangerous area.

.. what happened to ambulance service.

Most likely dealing with the numerous other casualties who had a better chance, or maybe lesser chance, of survival.

Please feel free to tell us how you would have handled the situation.
