British Prime Minister Theresa May was reportedly involved in a car crash after a vehicle struck her convoy in Belgium as she was visiting war graves ahead of Armistice Day. The victims were said to be two police officers on motorcycles who were knocked over by the vehicle. Both the officers were immediately rushed to the hospital. The officers were acting as outriders for May's convoy as she was traveling with Charles Michel, Prime Minister of Belgium.

The Daily Star reported that May's car was ahead of where the crash occurred and she managed to escape the unfortunate incident because of this. The incident has since been described as an "accident". The two country heads were on their way to meet French president Emmanuel Macron just across the border in Albert, France when the incident took place.
