Two women are critically ill in hospital after being hit by a bus in central London.

Another pedestrian, an 11-year-old boy, was also treated for minor injuries after the accident on Charing Cross Road.

The women, one aged 18 and the other in her 40s, are both said to be in a life-threatening condition, according to the BBC.

The road was closed in both directions, and the London Ambulance Service sent the air ambulance, four ambulances, two motorcycle units and two cycle units to the scene.

It is thought the incident occurred at 14.45 on 30 December.

All of the injured were taken to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington after the accident with a number 29 bus.

The news comes just days after a woman was killed and a man was critically injured when they were hit by a car while standing at a bus stop on Streatham High Road in Streatham.

The Daily Mail reports that the accident happened just ten minutes after the driver made off from an earlier collision.
