You asked
I am requesting the CCTV from Bus Route 86 Registration LX11 BCZ on Tuesday 17th March at approximately 17:20 when the bus was stationary at St Edwards C of E Academy bus stop direction towards Romford
I was the driver of a White Volvo XC60 registration (REDACTED), travelling towards Romford, and I was passing the stationary bus.
A pedestrian alighted from the bus, crossed directly in front of the bus into the path of my vehicle and a slight collision took place. My recollection is that the pedestrian was as all times looking away from the direction of traffic, i.e.towards Romford.
I immediately stopped and enquired as to the wellbeing of the pedestrian. He stated several times that he was OK, unhurt.
I left the scene after a couple of minutes and recorded the registration of the bus whilst it was stationary at Mawney Road Bus Stop at approximately 17:33.
Neither I nor the pedestrial approached the bus driver after the incident. There was no collision between my vehicle and the bus.
I reported the incident on line to the Metropolitan Police later that same evening. The report reference is 209-245-23-0101-WEKD.
I am requesting any front facing CCTV video from the bus that may have recorded this incident. I believe there may be a right hand corner and left hand corner CCTV. I am told the CCTV is overwritten after 30 days.
Thank you
