Glasgow bin lorry crash: Six dead and eight seriously injured

At least six people died and eight others were seriously injured after a bin lorry lost control and crashed into a group of people in Glasgow city centre on Monday afternoon, police have confirmed.

The vehicle was travelling north on Queen Street at around 2:30pm, when it mounted the pavement and hit the side of the Millennium Hotel in George Square, where pedestrians were waiting to cross the road outside Queen Street Station.

Witnesses described how the truck careered 150 yards along the pavement, knocking down victims "like pinballs" in one of Glasgow's busiest areas.

On Monday evening, emergency services were still at the scene where six people died. At least eight people were seriously injured and taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the Southern General, and the Western Infirmary, Police Scotland.
