I walked past about 20 mins before it happened. To be honest I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often in that area.
| Man in life-threatening condition after bus crash - Regent Street, 28 July 2025 Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 17:41, 28th July 2025 | |
From the BBC:
A man in his 80s has been taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition after he was struck by a bus in central London.
Emergency services were called at around 12:50 BST following the crash at the junction of Margaret Street and Regent Street.
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) said paramedics treated two people at the scene, with one taken to a major trauma centre as a priority. The Met Police said his condition was "thought to be life-threatening".
The other person was assessed and discharged at the scene, LAS said.
The service sent ambulance crews, paramedics, and a hazardous area response team to the scene, as well as dispatching the air ambulance.
Police said no arrests had been made, and bus services in the area have been diverted.
