A man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a bus in Brighton yesterday (Sunday 7 May).
The accident happened at about 2.30pm in Old Steine by the corner of St James’s Street.
Sussex Police issued an appeal for witnesses and video footage.
The force said: “Emergency services were called to the Old Steine, in Brighton, at around 2.30pm on Sunday (7 May) after a bus collided with a pedestrian.
“A Brighton man in his fifties was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries where he remains for treatment.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant video footage is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting Operation Herb.”
From what I could gather, the pedestrian hit the bus. You know, walking, walking, bus approaches, nearly passes them and they walk into the side of the bus. I’ve seen it happen once. That person was lucky. This wasn’t even near a crossing. It would have outside the memorial and between the lights where you can cross
