A PARTIALLY-sighted man was hit by a bus at one of Grimsby's busiest junctions.
He was crossing Cleethorpe Road, near the junction with Riby Square, Grimsby, at around 2.40pm yesterday.
The incident happened outside the Little People clothing store.
Eyewitnesses told the Telegraph that the man, holding a white stick and believed to be in his 40s, was crossing the road when he was in collision with the single-decker Stagecoach bus in the eastbound carriageway.
The man suffered non-life threatening injuries and was last night in a stable condition at the Diana, Princess Of Wales, Hospital.
Traffic was backed up along Cleethorpe Road over the flyover following the incident.
The westbound carriageway remained open but the eastbound carriageway was closed from Lock Hill, before being reopened at around 3.40pm.
Steve Pratten, community response manager for East Midlands Ambulance Service, said crews were immediately called to the scene.
A First Responder car arrived within three minutes, swiftly followed by paramedics.
Police arrived shortly afterwards; a LIVES paramedic also attended.
Dave Skepper, commercial director at Stagecoach East Midlands, said: "Our immediate thoughts are for the welfare of the pedestrian and we are assisting the police with their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident".
A police statement read: "Police were called at 2.37pm following a road traffic collision in Riby Square, Grimsby. The pedestrian was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life threatening."
Anyone with any information is asked to call Humberside Police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting log number 341 of Wednesday.
