A pedestrian has been involved in a serious accident with a car in Derby this afternoon.
The incident happened along Burton Road at 12.55pm.
The road is closed in both directions and is causing delays for drivers.
A spokesman for the police could not give detail on the pedestrian's injuries but said it was "serious".
Seven police cars and an ambulance are at the scene.
Luke Finnegan, 34, lives on Burton Road and said he can not get into his home because of the police cordon.
He said: "I think I will be here for hours not able to get in if it is a serious accident, and it does look serious.
"I have only been here a month, I can't believe it. It is a busy road.
"I just hope the person involved does not live in my flats, that would be terrible. I hope everybody who has been involved is safe and OK.
"I'm not bothered about not being able to get into my home, I just hope nobody is badly hurt."
Anyone know what's cracked off on Burton Road?
