Six injured at Tower Bridge

SIX people were injured after a lift at London’s Tower Bridge fell sharply near the end of its descent.

London Ambulance service said four men and two women suffered lower leg injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital. All were conscious.

The injured included five visitors to the popular tourist destination and one member of staff.

“The incident happened when the lift to the Tower Bridge exhibition was on the way down,” said a spokeswoman.

“It did not fall from the top, it fell the last 10 feet.”
