The incident occurred at Queen Louise's Bridge, which connects the city district Indre By with Nørrebro. According to the police, it is an accident.

The driver is one of the injured, but he is not critically injured. Since the driver is receiving care, the police have not yet questioned him and have not been able to determine the exact sequence of events. However, according to witness statements to the police, the driver first crashed into a roadwork and lost control of the vehicle – and then drove into a cyclist and several people on the sidewalk, reports the news agency Ritzau.

When the driver has been questioned, the police will decide whether he should be suspected of a crime or not.

According to an employee at TV2, there were many people at the scene who were sitting in the sun by the water. The car allegedly came at high speed and crashed into benches and tables on the sidewalk outside a café before coming to a stop.

A large response with ambulances, rescue services, and police rushed to the scene. The driver had to be helped out of the car, which has crash damage to the front, writes Ekstrabladet.

The alarm about the accident came at 15.30 on Wednesday.
