On 1 November 2017 a black taxi mounted the pavement on the Strand causing a road traffic accident. I want to know, was this a London licenced black cab vehicle & drivers? I do not need commercially sensitive or private information. I do not want to know the name of the driver or any of the pedestrian victims or any details of the case which may prejudice ongoing police investigation. I want to know whether this was a London black cabbie or one licenced elsewhere as claimed in some circles. Thank you.
