A motorcyclist is fighting for his life following a crash involving a bus in Merton.

Police were called to reports of a collision between a motorcycle and a bus on St Helier Avenue in Morden on Thursday morning.

London Ambulance Service also attended and the motorcyclist - a man aged in his 30s - was taken to a south London hospital with serious injuries.

He remains there in a critical condition, Scotland Yard said in a statement.

His next of kin have been informed.

The bus driver stopped at the scene. There have been no arrests.

Any witnesses – or anyone with information or dashcam / CCTV footage - is asked to call the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 020 8543 5157 referencing CAD 2580/30May19.

Alternatively, call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC using the same reference.
