Lilac 25, 26, 27, Orange 34/C and Red 50 are using Fletcher Gate and George Street due to congestion in Hockley[6] and along Canal Street.

The pedestrian was treated by paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene. A man has been arrested in connection with the incident. The road has been closed in both directions since the crash, with diversions in place.
