<p>Update 11pm: Holly Jones, a BBC reporter at the bridge when the incident happened, said a van had swerved off the road into a crowd of pedestrians.<br />
&#8220;A white van driver came speeding &#8211; probably about 50mph &#8211; veered of the road into the crowds of people who were walking along the pavement,&#8221; she told BBC News.</p>
<p>&#8220;He swerved right round me and then hit about five or six people. He hit about two people in front of me and then three behind.<br />
I&#8217;d say there are about four severely injured people. They all have paramedics assisting them at the moment.&#8221;</p>

<p>Ms Jones said police were on the scene within two minutes, quickly followed by ambulances.<br />
Police boats were searching the river &#8211; apparently looking for people who may have been thrown off the bridge. She said that among the injured was a French woman who told her she did not know where the two people who had been with her were.</p>
<p>&#8220;She told me in French, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know where those two other people are&#8217;. So the police checking the Thames,&#8221; Ms Jones said. &#8220;They were right near the edge of the bridge. It looks potentially they could have been thrown over.&#8221; Police are treating injured people and carrying them away at the end Thrale Street. Members of the public were told by police to &#8220;run as fast as they could&#8221; westbound.</p>
<p>Nick Archer, who was in the London Bridge area, told Sky News: &#8220;We came out (of a bar) on to the road and looked and looked to my left and there as a guy, I thought he was just drinking but he was lying on the floor. &#8220;And then a couple of seconds later, about three police vans flew past. &#8220;He looked in a bad way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier: London Bridge station has been closed at the request of the police.<br />
Armed response vehicles are said to be there &#8220;in numbers&#8221;. Witneses are reporting that a white van careered off the road into pedestrians and that shooting was heard in the vicinity.</p>
