[N-East England] Car strikes pedestrians outside Newcastle sports centre.
#1
Even the Headline from the BBC dilutes the possible inference of the incident.
Talk about a State-funded media outlet working for the State!!

[N-East England] Car strikes pedestrians outside Newcastle sports centre.

'Five people were injured when a car struck pedestrians outside a sports centre in Newcastle.
It happened at about 09:14 BST outside Westgate Sports Centre where an event was taking
place to celebrate Eid.

Northumbria Police said inquiries were ongoing to establish exactly what happened,
but it was not believed to be terror-related.

A 42-year-old woman was arrested and is being questioned in police custody, police said...'
The BBC:


Phew... not terror-related. Eid is:
'... Is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of
Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting...'

So I think we know how this one will be spun out.

Update:
'...Explaining more about the incident, ACC Best said: "At that time a large number of people were in the
area celebrating the religious festival Eid that is held to mark the end of Ramadan.

"What we have established is that a 42-year-old female has been celebrating Eid with her family, she then
got into her car and has collided with six people in the crowd.

"We have no information to suggest this is terror-related, however, this is a serious collision with multiple
casualties and extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances around this tragic incident."...'

I think that the media were hoping to paint it as a anti-Muslim retaliation act
and now it seems the accident involved the driver being from the celebration.
So it'll be forgotten.

The Daily Star did an add-on piece possibly in the hopes of allaying fears of such
a problem.

'I tried to brake' Woman screams at police after car ploughs into Newcastle crowd.

'Footage shows the moment a 42-year-old woman was arrested after a car ploughed into
families returning from Eid prayers in Newcastle.

Six people -including three children -were injured after the car hit pedestrians at 9.14am
outside WestGates Sports Centre as hundreds of Muslims left following Eid celebrations
that mark the end of Ramadan.

The driver screams in shock after hitting people after Eid prayers.

The above video shows a woman in a bright green dress lying on the floor as police surround her.
As two officers grab her by the wrists, an onlooker shouts: "She was driving the car."
The distressed woman screams: "I don't know what happened."
A policewoman then bends down next to her and talks to fellow officers through a walkie talkie.

Cops then tell her to "calm down" as she continues to plead that she doesn't know how it happened.
Police have now confirmed the woman had been in attendance for the prayers with her family.

"What we have established is that a 42-year-old female has been celebrating Eid with her family,
she then got into her car and has collided with six people in the crowd," said Assistant Chief
Constable of Northumbria Police, Darren Best...'

Sounds like a clear case of "them" taking control of the car.

You know... we've had threads here about how that can happen these days.

@"Mystic Wanderer"  That's True,,, BUT, I think there would have been Deaths.
Besides, I think the Brake Pedal Operation is still pretty much Straight Forward. The computer chip for the ABS is mostly to assure the Brakes Don't Lock Up but the brakes system itself works off of Hydraulics.
Now as far as the Accelerator Control being computer controlled or Modulated would depend on the make, model and year.

But nothing is really impossible anymore.
