An appeal has been launched as an elderly woman continues to fight for life after being crushed by a bus.

The pensioner, aged in her 80s, was knocked down after getting off the bus in Greenhithe at around midday yesterday.

She became trapped underneath, and emergency crews used air bags to lift the vehicle off her.

She was then taken to King's College Hospital in London, where she remains in a life-threatening condition.

Officers now want anyone with information on the incident - which happened in London Road, at the junction with Knockhall Chase - to come forward.

The woman had been a passenger on the Arriva 480 bus and had just alighted when she was struck.

Emergency services were called to the scene, including firefighters, police, paramedics and an air ambulance.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01622 798538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk with reference number DS/DW/266/17.
