A police boat careened into Westminster Bridge yesterday afternoon, hurling five officers into the Thames—four with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Footage captured the high-speed collision, waves crashing as officers were thrown overboard, before nearby boats, including an Uber Boat, rushed to rescue them. Witnesses heard a loud boom and saw two police vessels speeding before the crash. Emergency services scrambled to respond, setting up cordons and rerouting traffic. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch is now leading the probe, with police and port authorities assisting. The swift rescue efforts are being hailed as lifesaving, while focus remains on officer recovery and uncovering what went wrong.
