A MAN suffered serious head injuries after apparently falling from a moving coach.

The 22-year-old man, from Hertfordshire, was injured after falling from a coach as it travelled along the A13-bound carriageway of Queensway, Southend, shortly before 6.50pm last night, Sunday.

It is thought the man fell from the emergency door of the vehicle and investigations are ongoing as to how this happened.

After being taken to Southend hospital, the man was transferred to Queen's hospital, Romford, where this morning he is in a serious but not life-threatening condition.

Following the incident, police examined the scene and the vehicle before it was towed away at around 11.45pm.
