A man in his 30s is still fighting for his life two days after being hit by a bus in Croydon. 

Emergency services were called to the crash involving a bus and a pedestrian at around 1.10pm on Saturday, October 5.

Officers and London Ambulance Service crews attended and found a man injured. 

He was taken to hospital where his condition was initially unknown.

Yesterday, police confirmed that his condition was assessed as life-threatening and today (October 7) police told Your Local Guardian that his condition remains the same.

George Street was closed in both directions as the incident was being dealt with. 

However, it has since reopened.
