DRIVERS swerved to avoid a woman as she lay unconscious in a Sidcup road following a serious assault.

CCTV footage from a 321 bus clearly shows drivers maneuver to avoid the woman, who was lying in the road with blood pouring from a head wound.

The victim, who has not been named, was found outside the CocaCola Industrial Park on the B2174 Cray Road near Footscray, south east London, at 2.15pm on Monday September 20.

She was taken to a South London and later released after treatment.

Detectives were due to interview the woman after speaking to her relatives.

Police issued the shocking images in a renewed bid to unearth new information and prompt potential witnesses.

A Met spokesman said: "We are appealing to who took evasive action to avoid a collision with the woman and anyone else who may have seen what happened to contact Bexleyheath police station on 0208 2849131."
