Four children among the injured after car collides with pedestrians in Glasgow
Police said six pedestrians, including four schoolchildren, were taken to hospital after a car mounted the pavement and hit a bus stop.
On Tuesday, a car struck six pedestrians on Hyndland Road in Glasgow, with four children among those hospitalized after the collision near two secondary schools.
The vehicle, driven by a 29-year-old man, hit a bus stop and scaffolding before stopping. Emergency crews from Police Scotland, the Scottish Ambulance Service, and Scottish Fire responded to the major crash.
Four patients were transported to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, two to the Royal Hospital, and one to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Two adults sustained serious injuries while four children remain in stable condition.
Inspector Ryan Curran of the Greater Glasgow Road Policing Unit stated investigations are ongoing, though there is "not believed to be any criminality." Officers closed Hyndland Road for eight hours, reopening it on Tuesday.
Police Scotland has appealed for witnesses with dash-cam footage to contact Police on 101, quoting incident 1955. The incident triggered a massive response, including eight ambulances, three SORT, and a critical care team.
