A man has been rushed to hospital after being knocked down by a bus.
Police, London Ambulance Service (LAS) and the Air Ambulance were called to Sutton High Street at the junction with Angel Hill at 12.55pm to reports of bus in collision with a cyclist.
A LAS spokesman said a man, reportedly in his 40s, had been taken by ambulance to St George's Hospital as a priority with a pelvic injury.
Police said he had also injured his leg.
Police are still at the scene investigating the incident, and Angel Hill has been cordoned off.
Witnesses said they did not believe the man was on a bike but was out jogging.

Interesting though that this is yet another accident that is close to St. Helier Hospital but the injured person is transported a much further distance to St. George's in Tooting.
I know some hospitals specialise in different types off injuries so maybe this was the case here or is it yet another example of 'avoiding' St Helier's A & E Department so it will justify closing it as proposed?
