Six Dead After Glasgow Bin Lorry Crashes Into Shoppers
 
Quote:
Police are called to a "serious incident" in Glasgow where a bin lorry is understood to have crashed into a group of pedestrians.

Local reports say the lorry mounted the pavement and crashed into the side of the Millenium Hotel in George Square.

The Daily Record newspaper says the accident happened as a crowd of Christmas shoppers were waiting to cross the road outside Queen Street station.

There are understood to be fatalities and the casualties are estimated to be in double figures.

As many as six ambulances are at the scene, along with the police and fire service.

A Police Scotland spokesman confirmed there is an "ongoing serious incident" in Glasgow's George Square close to Queen Street Station.

Roads surrounding George Square, in the city centre, have been closed.

Nope

We shop there though and that's the station we get off at because the parking and one way systems in Glasgow are beyond atrocious so it's much easier to get the train

Absolutely shocking. Can't believe it's only just in the city centre. Those people enjoying the Christmas festivities or trying to get some last minute gifts. Heartbreaking.

How awful... I feel so sorry for them. Poor Glasgow... the horrible helicopter crash last year around Christmastime, and then this.

So sad. I was in town earlier today and was actually supposed to be heading round to George Square so it's scary to think of. RIP to the 6 who lost their lives.

Former Leeds, Burnley and QPR defender Clark Carlisle was rushed to hospital early this morning after being hit by a lorry.

Carlisle was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary with life threatening injuries. The incident took place near Bishopthorpe in North Yorkshire at 7.30am on Monday. The road was then closed to allow the air ambulance to arrive at the scene, Mail Online reported.

The reason for the accident remains unclear, however a police spokeswoman told the website they were “pursuing all avenues”.

During his 16-year career, Carlisle made over 500 appearances for nine clubs.

He has also been praised for his keen intellect, having achieved 10 Grade A GCSEs, and was the first footballer to appear on Channel 4's Countdown.

Following his retirement, he has regularly appeared on ITV as a pundit, including at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.

He is also a leading ambassador for anti-discrimination group Kick It Out.
