Off-duty nurses rushed to help a young boy after he was hit by a van in Kensington.
The 11-year-old was knocked down by the Ford Transit van at around 7.55pm yesterday, resulting in road closures from Albany Road to Low Hill.
It is understood a group of nurses, on their way home from a shift at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, attended to the youngster as they waited for services to arrive. The boy was then taken to hospital, where he remains in a serious condition, police said.

At least five police vehicles attended the scene last night, along with around half a dozen officers, who carried out house-to-house enquiries inside the cordon. The Ford Transit driver, who stopped following the collision, was reported to be assisting police with their investigation.
A Merseyside police spokesman said this morning: "The boy is in a serious condition and remains in hospital. No arrests have been made."
At least five police vehicles were at the scene along with around half a dozen officers. One man who passed the scene said he would “say a prayer” for the little boy.
Police were carrying out house-to-house enquiries inside the cordon and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
