A young man was left fighting for life in hospital after he was hit by a bus on one of London’s busiest shopping streets.
The 27-year-old man suffered a severe head injury after he was hit by a bus on Regent Street on Saturday evening.
Police and paramedics raced to the scene of the crash at the junction with Conduit Street shortly after 9pm.
The pedestrian was rushed to a central London hospital where he remained in a life threatening condition on Sunday morning, police said.
David Videcette, who witnessed the aftermath of the crash, wrote on Twitter: “Serious road traffic accident – bus vs a pedestrian – very sad. Regent Street is completely blocked northbound and gridlocked southbound.”
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “The bus driver stopped at the scene.
"He was not arrested and is assisting detectives with their enquires.”
Detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are investigating the collision and appealing for witnesses.
