Critical care paramedic sent to incident
A critical care paramedic was sent to the scene after a bus collided with a pedestrian on a busy Sheffield city centre street today.
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service was sent to the scene just before 3pm after the incident, with a man taken to hospital with his injuries.
Eyewitness reports of the scene afterwards described a man on the ground near the top of The Moor, close to the H&M store at Furnival Gate, but the Ambulance Service had logged an incident at Charter Row, with joins onto Furnival Gate a few yards further along the road.
The ambulance service said in a statement: “We received an emergency call at 2.55pm on Wednesday afternoon to report a collision between a bus and pedestrian on Charter Row, Sheffield.
“An ambulance and a specialist paramedic (critical care) were dispatched to the scene and one patient was conveyed to Northern General Hospital.”
South Yorkshire Police have been approached for more information.
