Seven people were treated at the scene and taken to hospital with a range of serious but not life-threatening injuries, after they were hit by a black Suzuki Swift in Friar Gate at about 9.30pm on Saturday.

Dharma Mundell, 26, who works at a newsagents metres away from where the incident happened, said people were smoking on the pavement outside the Bishop Blaise pub before the driver ‘sped up’ and hit them.
She told how she was serving a customer when she heard a loud bang followed by people screaming and crying.
‘I was in pure shock I guess, because I heard banging and screaming and then I came out (of the shop) and there’s ambulances and police everywhere. It was a big shock,’ she said.
‘There was an ambulance that pulled up just outside my shop and a lady got put in a stretcher.
‘(She had a) full neck brace, and I’ve seen a bunch of blood dripping down her head.
‘It was kind of scary. It was not something you expect here in at all.
‘This guy literally just sped up the road, straight onto the kerb, straight through people.
‘He literally just ploughed through the people. I’ve just seen a bunch of people on the road and he’s ploughed through them.
‘When I heard screaming I thought maybe one person was fighting, and then you see seven or eight people on the ground.’
Calum Green, assistant manager at Bishop Blaise, was working when the incident happened outside the bar. He said ambulance sirens alerted him to the crash.
He said the car had come ‘right onto the pavement’ where a group of people were standing.
‘He mounted the kerb once. We closed the doors and kept everyone inside as we didn’t know what happened,’ he said.
Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council, described the crash as ‘horrific’.
She said Friar Gate would be closed to cars this Easter bank holiday weekend after the incident.
‘We want people to feel reassured that they can continue to come out,’ she said.
Claire Ward, mayor of the East Midlands, said it was a ‘serious but isolated incident’.
‘I know that for those not just involved who were injured on the evening, but who were around the city centre and had first-hand experience of what happened, this will be a really frightening time,’ she said.
‘The city itself, and all our agencies, will want to do all it can to support people at this difficult time.
‘We know the repercussions of violent acts like this don’t end just in that moment.
‘There will be real upset and trauma for many people who witnessed what happened on the night as well, of course, as those victims who were directly impacted, but we understand that there were no fatalities and that two people have already been discharged from hospital and more we hope, soon.’
