A woman was struck by a double-decker bus on Oxford Street outside Bond Street Station over the weekend, leading to a significant emergency response. The incident occurred around 6:45 PM on Saturday, May 31. Paramedics treated the woman at the scene before transporting her to a hospital, although her condition remains unclear. Police have confirmed that they are investigating the circumstances of the collision but have made no arrests. Oxford Street is known for heavy pedestrian traffic, and there are concerns with its safety as it has been identified as a collision hotspot.
On Saturday, May 31, police were called to Bond Street, at 18:44 following reports of a road traffic collision between a bus and pedestrian. Met officers attended the scene alongside paramedics who treated a woman on scene before taking her to hospital. We await an update on the woman's condition.
We sent multiple resources to the scene, including a paramedic in a fast response car, an ambulance crew and an incident response officer. We also dispatched London's Air Ambulance. We treated a patient at the scene before taking them to a major trauma centre.
Several bus routes serve Bond Street, including the 139, 390, N7, N98, N113, N137 and N207 routes. More than 500,000 pedestrians walk along Oxford Street every day to visit some of London's flagship stores.
In 2014, 10 of Transport for London's 24 pedestrian collision hotspots were along Oxford Street.
