A schoolboy who was struck by a double-decker bus on his way to school during rush hour is in critical condition.

After being struck about 8 a.m. yesterday in South London, the 11-year-old was severely injured.

‘Officers were alerted at 8.13am on Tuesday, October 4, to reports of an accident involving a bus and a pedestrian in Norwood Road, SE27,’ said a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman.

‘The London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance also responded, and the pedestrian, an 11-year-old boy, was brought to hospital, where he is still in serious condition,’ said the statement.
