伦敦地标威斯敏斯特大桥遇袭
伦敦地标威斯敏斯特大桥遇袭

Edge Hill University students Owen Lambert and Travis Frain were hit as a car drove along the pavement on Westminster Bridge as the attack began.
Prince Charles paid a visit to the 19-year-old from Lancashire, who is recovering in King's College Hospital. When a friend jokingly suggested he “could have dressed up” for his visitor, Mr Frain answered, “I do what I can, with what I've got. Hahaha...” 
Mr Frain had been visiting the Palace of Westminster with 13 other students and a lecturer to watch Prime Minister's Questions. He was walking across Westminster Bridge when he was knocked down by attacker Khalid Masood's car.
Angela Frain, from Darwen, said her son escaped with his life after going over the head of the car as the attack began. Seconds later, Frain called his mother to say, “Mum, I'm safe. I know you will be worrying.”
    “He needs an operation on his leg,” doctors said. He also suffered deep cuts and light whiplash, but he didn’t think it’s that bad. Another student, 18-year-old Owen Lambert, needed sew up a head wound, while two others received treatment for lesser injuries. Four people died and 50 people were injured in the attack, with 31 receiving hospital treatment.
Attacker Khalid Masood, 52, drove his car onto the pavement and into walking people on Westminster Bridge, before crashing the vehicle into railings and running into the grounds of Parliament. He was armed with a knife and wanted to kill the police Keith Palmer, before being shot dead by police. Police have made 11 arrests and 10 people are still being questioned.
