A cyclist is fighting for his life after being hit by a car outside Buckingham Palace.
London's Air Ambulance landed outside the Queen’s residence shortly before noon today, sparking panic among tourists.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed officers had been called to Constitution Hill following the collision.
The male cyclist was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
An American tourist, known only as Dave, told the Standard: "The helicopter landed and all the medics came running out down the road.
"There was a bit of a panic, nobody knew what was going on."
Tourists gathered to take photographs of the air ambulance which stayed on the scene, behind a police cordon, for over two hours after the crash.
Others snapped selfies with helicopter crew.
British tourist Tony Gibbins said: "It's all taped off down there (Constitution Hill), you have to walk through the park to get past.
"It looked as if a taxi had hit a push bike."
