An elderly pedestrian who was last month taken to hospital with serious injuries after being involved in a collision with a bus at Queniborough has sadly died.
The man, who was aged in his 80s, was taken for treatment by an ambulance crew following the incident, which happened on Melton Road just after 3.30pm on August 24.
