Appeal for information following serious collision in Liverpool city centre
Main article content
We are appealing for witnesses after a collision involving a bus and a pedestrian in Liverpool city centre last night (Saturday 8 March).
A report was received just after 11pm that a single decker Arriva bus had been involved in a collision with a man aged in his 20s close to the Empire theatre, on Lime Street.
The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious injuries and his condition this morning is described as critical.
The driver stopped at the scene and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the incident. A road closure was initially put in place, but this has now been lifted.
Roads Policing Inspector Bernard McHugh said: "We know the city centre was busy last night, and there may have been pedestrians or people getting taxis and in passing traffic who may have witnessed part of the incident.
“We would like to speak to anyone who saw it or who may have captured anything on dashcam or other devices.
“Enquiries are ongoing to find out exactly what happened and how this collision occurred. If you have any information, please get in touch.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact our Matrix Serious Collision Investigation Unit on (0151) 777 5747, email [email protected], or DM @MerPolCC with reference 1056 of 8 March.
