Police are appealing for witnesses after a pensioner was hit by a bus in Sunderland, leaving him in a critical condition.
The man, aged 68, was struck by the bus on John Street at around 2pm on Wednesday (January 25). Emergency services responded and treated him at the scene before he was taken to hospital - where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
The bus driver helped police with their enquiries at the scene, but now officers are appealing for anyone who saw what happened to come forward.
