Pedestrian struck by white Peugeot car which was travelling from the co-op under the bridge towards the station. Pedestrian appears to have walked off raised pavement into the path of the car.
Air ambulance landed, very skilfully I might add in the park on westbourne.

Patient treated at roadside and taken to westbourne where they were loaded into the air ambulance . I assume because of the severity of the injuries is why the road was closed for traffic and forensics to attend. Footpaths and road remained sterile for a long time.

I was amused and annoyed by the arrogance and ignorance of people waiting to pass on foot.

Jumping from the bridge is possible, but the driver of the car was breathalised at the scene, which would suggest some involvement.
Also not sure about the operating on at the roadside, maybe a small procedure, patient was treated inside the ambulance, removed from it for a short while, then replaced in ambulance and taken to helicopter, which lifted off at approx 17.10

White car involved just in right corner of picture.
Note that is NOT a patient being treated on the road, it's the air ambulance tech sorting his bag out.
