Hyndland Road in Glasgow's west end was closed for a second time on Wednesday, a day after a car struck multiple pedestrians on the same street. Police said the road was shut between Clarence Drive and Crown Road following a report of concern for a person, with the alarm raised at around 4.50pm. Drivers were asked to use an alternative route.
Tuesday's crash and casualties
The earlier incident on Tuesday involved a car and several pedestrians at 3.45pm. Seven people were taken to hospital for treatment and assessment, including four schoolchildren. A 29-year-old man said to have been driving the car was treated by paramedics at the scene.
Police said a 13-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and two 13-year-old girls were among those taken to hospital, where their condition was described as stable. A 34-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man have serious injuries. No information was provided about the other person.
Emergency response and school impact
Photos on social media showed police cars, ambulances and fire engines lined up on the road, along with a large number of emergency personnel. A car appeared to have mounted the pavement, and glass from a nearby bus stop was shattered on the pavement.
The four injured children were all pupils at nearby Hyndland Secondary School. Headteacher Louise Edgerton said it was "a shock to [the] school community", adding: "Our thoughts are with all those affected. We wish everyone involved a full recovery. School staff will continue to support any of our young people and families with assistance from our colleagues in Educational Psychology and Counselling Service."
Investigation status
The Tuesday incident is being treated as a road traffic collision by officers. A police spokesperson said investigations are ongoing but there was "not believed to be any criminality". There is nothing to suggest the Wednesday incident is linked to the crash the previous night.
