A BUS and a pedestrian were involved in a crash near the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) this afternoon.

Police closed Bath Road between the BIC Roundabout and the Royal Bath Hotel following a call at 2.15pm.

Paramedics were also called to the scene and treated the male pedestrian for minor leg injuries, a Dorset Police spokesperson confirmed.

“The pedestrian is not considered to be in a life-threatening condition,” he said.

“He was taken to Royal Bournemouth Hospital.”

The spokesperson was unable to give the age of the pedestrian.

Officers re-opened the road just after 3pm.
