A boy was seriously injured after being hit by an ambulance as it answered a 999 call.
The child, believed to be 10-years-old, suffered "significant" head injuries in the accident with the South Western Ambulance Service vehicle in Bath, Somerset, just after 4pm this afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said he was taken to the city's Royal United Hospital after the accident at the junction of London Road and Snow Hill near the River Avon.
"Due to the serious condition of the patient, police gave permission for the ambulance to leave the scene to take him to hospital," she said.
"Clearly our primary concern is for the patient and his family - senior executives from South Western Ambulance Service have travelled to Bath and will offer to meet with the family."
"We are also ensuring the crew involved are fully supported. We are also working closely with the police to ensure the circumstances surrounding this serious incident are fully investigated."
The child was later transferred to the Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, which has a specialist trauma unit, where he was said to be in a stable condition.
Avon and Somerset Police said London Road was closed in both directions while they investigated the crash and advised motorists to avoid the area.
