Can't work out if the person who stabbed the policeman and was subsequently shot by armed police is the driver of the vehicle who's run off after crashing, or if that's a completely separate incident. If the latter, where is the driver of the vehicle? Is it just me that can't work it out or is this information yet to be established?

According to the Beeb it was the guy who stabbed the Policeman whose been shot. the car seems a separate incident.

Everything pointing to it being the same person.
Sky just showed a graphic still image of someone who had clearly fallen from height - didnt look in a good condition - possibly someone who was hit on the bridge and knocked over the railings.

In such incidents as these there will be conflicting information. It might be that the two incidents are not related but who knows?

Most reports suggest it was the same vehicle hit the pedestrians on the pavement of the bridge, then crashed into the gates,the driver attacked a policeman (and was shot) .

Quality reporting from Fox - check the spelling

Working assumption is one incident 3 parts;
1) Vehicle mounted pavement on bridge with multiple casualties
2) Driver crashed into the railings outside HoP (further casulaties at this point)
3) Driver left vehicle confronted and stabbed a police officer then shot by other officers.

2 incidents I think

Richard Tice was coming out of the tube station as the events unfolded.

He told BBC News: “I came out of Westminster Underground and it was clear something dramatic had happened.

“I was ushered onto the bridge and, looking up and down, there were at least eight figures on the west pavement… and then the car crashed at the south end of the bridge.”

I should imagine they are related, thought not necessarily the same person

May well have been beyond help unfortunately.

That's what logically springs to mind.

the number of people mowed down started at 5, then went to 8 then 12. Unfortunately, it looks likely there will deaths, along with serious injuries, arising from being targeted like that.
The 5 are believed to be on the bridge, the others near the railings.

Looks like SUV ran people down on Westminster bridge, then crashed into wall at Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), occupants went over/around the adjacent wall, towards commons Westminster entrances to get into Parliament, challenged by security, stabbings/shots. Number of injured on the bridge, no fatalities yet confirmed, but looks likely from the covered bodies seen on the aerial images.

Does it ever get tiring? Actively seeking out offence, I mean.

You've just got all sweary over something that literally exists only inside your head.
