Jenny Mulholland tweeted: "More Camden drama, G-LNDN air ambulance just circled Granary Square in King's Cross about 5 times then landed in the square."

A man was rushed to hospital after the incident, police said. His condition is described as non-life threatening or life-changing.

A police spokesman added: “We were called to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian at the junction between Pentonville Road and York Way.

“The car left the road during the incident.

“A man was injured and was taken to a central London hospital.

“The driver stopped at the scene and is assisting the police with their enquiries.”
