A motorcyclist is fighting for his life in hospital after he was hit by a car and then collided with a pedestrian.

Police said the male motorcycle rider suffered life-threatening injuries when he was struck by a car as it turned left in Trafalgar Road, Greenwich.

The motorcyclist then collided with a man walking in the street, a Metropolitan Police Service spokesman said.

Both men have taken to a south London hospital but the pedestrian’s injuries are said to be less serious.

Police and paramedics were called just after 6pm to reports of a collision involving a car, motorcycle and pedestrian.

Trafalgar Road remained shut for several hours after the crash and reopened shortly before 10.30pm.

One man, who works at Indian and Nepalese restaurant Mountain View, said: “All I know is that it was between a car and a motorcycle.

"I don’t know how the casualty is but I heard it is quite serious.

“All the customers were talking about it.”

A Met spokesman said no arrests had been made and enquiries are ongoing.
