A man has been rushed to hospital after a crash allegedly involving a bus on a renowned London road.

The London Ambulance Service was called to Pall Mall in Westminster at around 10.30am today (November 25).

Paramedics attended with London’s Air Ambulance and treated a patient at the scene.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance.

His condition is not yet known and the Met Police have been contacted for further information.

A picture of the crash shows a bus within a cordon around the Guards Crimean War Memorial at the junction of Pall Mall and Waterloo Place.

Witnesses claimed on X that the bus had been involved in the crash.

A second crash reported on Strand at a similar time added to heavy traffic around Westminster as Pall Mall and Cockspur Street were closed.

The roads have since reopened after a closure of around five hours.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 10.28am this morning (25 November) to reports of a road traffic collision in Pall Mall, SW1Y.

“We sent an ambulance crew, a cycle paramedic, a paramedic in a fast response car and an incident response officer to the scene. 

“We also dispatched London’s Air Ambulance.

“We treated a patient at the scene and took him to a major trauma centre by road.”
