    A van has ploughed into the crowd in Las Ramblas, Barcelona. Earliest reports say several are injured.

    How do you know it was a violent incident and not an accident?

    Why not wait until it's confirmed exactly what has happened and by whom before knocking an entire religion?

    Spanish police have said the incident has resulted in multiple speculation.

    It was the van that brought Coutinho in from Liverpool, told to ignore all red lights, Scousers, bulls and matadors.

    Sorry to hear - hope for no serious injuries (however unlikely that may be :( )

    Was on that street a month ago. Potential do mass damage. I pray the driver was dragged out of the van and beaten to death.

    Maybe anti-tourist related?

    From Sky News
    El Pais newspaper, citing a police source, has said the driver of the van fled the scene after the crash

    People have been ordered by police into a church and locked in, because they hadn't been saying their prayers, you know.

    Police report that the driver has fled on foot. Sure wouldn't we all do the same if our licence was out of date or we had a bald tyre?

    P.S. Two people killed.

    According to the media the driver fled on foot which makes it look less likely to have been an accident.

    Has been a lot of anti tourist sentiment in Barcelona recently but unlikely this would be related to it.

    Seems it is being described now as a Cultural diversity incident, reports that 2 men may have entered a restaurant, nothing known further about that.

    There have been a lot of incidents and attempts over the last 2 weeks, not that one would hear about it much, seems like there may be an escalation starting.
