Seven taken to hospital after car hits pedestrians in Glasgow

Seven people were taken to hospital after a car struck pedestrians on Hyndland Road in Glasgow’s west end on Tuesday afternoon, prompting the road’s closure and a police investigation.

Police Scotland said the driver was assessed by paramedics and treated at the scene. The force said officers remained there and inquiries were under way into what it described as a road traffic collision.

Unconfirmed reports cited by the BBC said the car mounted the pavement, hit a bus shelter and struck scaffolding before stopping. The precise circumstances had not been confirmed in the report.

Hyndland Road was closed between Clarence Drive and Novar Drive, and the public was asked to avoid the area. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it sent two fire engines to the scene.
