A man was in a serious condition in hospital after being hit by a double decker bus on a Lancashire road.
Peter Gaskell, 31, was crossing Station Road in Bamber Bridge at 6.50pm yesterday when he collided with the Stagecoach bus.
He suffered what police described as "life threatening" head injuries and remained in the intensive care unit at Royal Preston Hospital in a "poorly" condition.
Mr Gaskell, of Alma Row, Hoghton, was taken to hospital by ambulance.
Police sealed off Station Road for more than four hours after the incident with forensic officers scouring the crash site.
Witnesses described seeing officers shining torches underneath the bus which was stationary in the road at an angle.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "This gentleman was crossing the road from the nearside when he was in collision with the double decker bus which was travelling towards Leyland.
"He received serious injuries and his condition is currently described as poorly."
The driver of the 125 Stagecoach North West service to Chorley was treated at the scene for shock but declined hospital treatment.
Police have appealed for anybody who witnessed the collision to contact them by calling 01772 203203.
