A man was seriously hurt when he was struck by a double-decker bus this afternoon.
The accident happened on Childwall Park Avenue just 1pm, not far from The Triangle on the No.81 Arriva service.
The pedestrian was treated at the scene by paramedics before he was taken to hospital.
Today, Merseyside Police said he had non-life-threatening injuries, but witnesses at the scene added he was very badly injured.
Pictures from the scene showed significant damage to the front windscreen of the bus.
There were only three passengers on the No.81 at the time of the collision.
The bus driver was said to be very shaken up by the crash.
No other vehicles were involved.
This afternoon, a large section of Childwall Park Avenue was sealed off, close to Devon Way.
Police arrived at the scene and launched an investigation into the accident.
An air ambulance was requested, but it is believed it wasn't needed.
Management from Arriva attended the scene, as is normal in any serious collision involving one of their buses.
The vehicle will now be examined by police.
One man, who saw the aftermath of the collision, said: "It looked serious, and the man didn't look in a good way.
"There was hardly anyone on the bus, because obviously, not many people are using them at the minute because of the lockdown.
"Everybody was told to get off as soon as the accident happened.
"They looked upset."
An Arriva spokeswoman told the ECHO: "We are working with Merseyside Police as they conduct their investigation."
The no.81 service travels between Bootle and Speke, travelling through Walton, Wavertree, Childwall, Woolton, Gatecare and Hunts Cross.
