'Car Weaved Along Before Crashing' Updated: 10:15, Friday June 29, 2007 Witnesses at the scene of the car bomb that failed to go off in central London have told Sky News reporter Emma Birchley what they saw. One said they noticed a silver Mercedes being driven erratically close to the Tiger Tiger nightclub in the Haymarket, near Piccadilly, at around 1:30am. The scene remains cordoned off The driver skidded along the road and crashed the vehicle into rubbish bins that were standing on the pavement before getting out and running away. According to the witness, bouncers from the club then went over to the car to check it out and may have found the device. The owner of a local convenience store said: "It was at 2am that it happened. There were three of us working together. "The police came, closed the door and told us and the customers to stay inside. "They cleared all the people from the area by 2am. At that time we did not know what was going on." Birchley also spoke to a freelance photographer who passed through the area at around 4am. She explained: "The photographer stopped because the area had already been cordoned off. "He said he saw that gas canisters had been removed from the vehicle, a silver Mercedes, and unloaded onto the pavement. "He could also see something large in the back of the car." A different eyewitness has told Sky News he saw nails in the back of the car as well as the gas cannisters
