The attacker was driving a grey hyundai, they are now investigating every aspect now soon we will get the news on the origin and motivation. One thing I must add is that today there was a meeting in USA on how to tackle ISIS. So date time and place are pointing in the direction but that is just an assessment for now.
He tried to kill as many people he can on the road and then reach the Parliament building where he tried to do damage and expired so this event was focused to UK gov and fighting ISIS meeting.
BBC just reported that total number of 40 people have been injured in this attack.
The terrorist has been related to a terrorist group but no further information is being provided at this stage.

ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo, said that an attack in the UK had been expected by security forces, and the UK has been at a "severe" threat level for some years.
"This was like terrorism from a textbook," he said. "If you had to imagine how an attack in the UK might look, where it might be, this was precisely it."
He added: "It couldn't have been any more political. What a statement - first, in the shadow of the mother of parliaments, and then inside it.
"I think the authorities appear to have established who the attacker is."
