Pedestrian suffers head injury after being hit and reportedly dragged by bus in Birmingham city centre
A pedestrian suffered a head injury when he was hit by a bus and reportedly dragged along by it in Birmingham city centre.
The 41-year-old man's head cracked the windscreen of the double decker and he was treated by passers-by at the scene.
The incident happened at around 1.20pm this afternoon outside Walkabout in Broad Street.
Murray MacGregor, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "The windscreen of the bus had been cracked and the 41-year-old man was suffering from a head injury.
"On arrival, ambulance staff found an off duty radiographer and a first aider treating the man. They were told that he'd been dragged along the road a short distance.
"Due to his 'disorientated' state, it was difficult to accurately assess his condition so crews acted on a worst case scenario. He was immobilised and taken on blue lights to the major trauma centre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
"The bus driver was understandably upset by what had happened. He was assessed at the scene, but he didn't require hospital treatment."
