Fresh footage has since emerged of the black rigid inflatable boat travelling at speed before hitting the Westminster Bridge’s pillar.
Waves rose into the air as officers were hurled into the water, with their heads seen bobbing above the water as the boat drove away from them.
Four police officers were seriously injured after the patrol boat smashed into the bridge yesterday afternoon. Their injuries are non-life threatening.
After being treated by paramedics at the scene, they were rushed to hospital.
