A man has been rushed to hospital after being hit by a car on a busy road in south east London.
The man was struck in Beckenham Hill Road, near Catford, during Friday's morning rush hour at about 7am.
Officers from the Met Police and paramedics from the London Amulance Service rushed to the scene as a cordon was put in place at the junction with Primrose Close.
The man suffered a serious head injury and was taken to a south London hospital as a priority.
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We sent an ambulance crew and a single responder in a car to the scene.
"The first of our medics arrived at the scene in under four minutes.
“We treated a man at the scene for a head injury and took him as a priority to a major trauma centre."
The man's injuries are not thought to be life-changing or life-threatening.
Beckenham Hill Road was closed in both directions, and motorists were warned to avoid the area.
Scotland Yard said there had been no arrests and enquiries continue.
