A busy area of Glasgow city centre was plunged into a lockdown on Monday afternoon following a serious emergency incident that required a large-scale police response.
Emergency Services Swarm City Centre
Police and paramedics were dispatched rapidly to the vicinity of West Regent Street and Wellington Street at approximately 4pm. The immediate area was sealed off with police tape, creating a significant cordon as emergency teams worked at the scene. Eyewitnesses reported a heavy and visible presence of both police vehicles and ambulance crews.
Eyewitness Account of the Incident
An account from a witness at the scene provided the first details of the incident's nature. The eyewitness stated to reporters that "two pedestrians have been knocked down", suggesting a serious traffic-related collision. This information formed the initial understanding of the event that prompted the major emergency response and the subsequent lockdown of the city centre area.
The full circumstances surrounding the incident are now subject to a police investigation. Authorities have not yet released an official statement confirming the exact details, but the closure of the streets and the scale of the response indicates the seriousness of the situation. Commuters and the public were advised to avoid the area while the operation continued.
