Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A major West London high street has been closed after an incident in which a pedestrian was hit by a lorry.
Police, firefighters, and paramedics are all attending the incident, where the woman is thought to have been seriously injured.
The person, described by bystanders as an “old lady”, is being given emergency medical treatment at the scene.
The vehicle appeared to have been stopped as it turned into Young Street, coming from the direction of Hyde Park.
The road’s pavements were initially closed to pedestrians but were later reopened by police.
As of 3.30pm High Street Kensington is closed for 50 metres from the junction of Kensington Church Street.
Similar accidents have prompted calls for greater restrictions on lorries driving in central London.
The Mayor of London has previously said a lorry ban would be unworkable.
