A toddler has been rushed to hospital after being hit by an Uber minicab in a rush hour crash, yards from Hyde Park.
Emergency services were called to Hyde Park Gate, off High Street Kensington, shortly after 6pm.
Police said the boy, thought to be around two years old, had been taken to hospital for treatment. Officers could not immediately confirm the seriousness of his condition.
A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics treated the child for a head injury.
Roads were closed as police investigated the circumstances of the collision. The driver stopped at the scene, police said.
Calls For TfL Privare Hire Drivers To Take Advanced Driving Test
Calls for all Private Hire drivers to take advanced driving tests like Licensed Taxi drivers have to take, have been ignored by TfL bosses.
Last week five motorcyclists were mowed down by TfL licensed minicab drivers. One fatal collision happened at the junction with Farrier Street just before 8.17pm on Saturday night.
Last night Regent Street had to be closed off, as a Toyota with TfL roundals collided with traffic lights and a bus, while doing an illegal u-turn.
