An investigation is under way after a man was hit by a bus on The Kingsway in Swansea city centre.

The 35-year-old was hurt in the incident on Tuesday afternoon and was taken to the city's Morriston Hospital but his injuries are non life-threatening.

The road has reopened after being closed for several hours.

Swansea council and bus operator First Cymru said they were working with police to establish the crash cause.

It is the latest in a number of incidents on The Kingsway.

In June, a man was struck by a bus on the road and two others have died in similar incidents.

In April, a coroner investigating the death of Daniel Foss, 37, after he was hit by a National Express bus, called for action to deal with "serious design issues" on the road.

Swansea council later installed barriers along the carriageway following the death of Sgt Louise Lucas in March, in a bid to prevent pedestrians crossing.
