A MAN has been seriously injured after being hit by a bus on Ferensway.
The accident happened at 1.36pm, just past the junction with Portland Place.
There was major disruption to traffic, as the road was closed northbound between Paragon Interchange and Spring Bank.
All vehicles were being diverted through the interchange but the road has now re-opened.
The bus was a single-decker, operated by Stagecoach.
A spokesman for the company said: "Our first thoughts are for the welfare of the person involved who has been taken to hospital.
"Safety is our absolute priority. We will assist the police with their inquiries into this incident as well as carrying out our own investigation."
Bus firms have long been calling for changes to be made in the city centre, especially around the entrance to the bus depot between St Stephen's Shopping Centre and Paragon Interchange, due to the high number of accidents.
