Emergency services have closed a street in the west end of Glasgow for a second consecutive day, following a fresh incident just 24 hours after a car struck multiple pedestrians.

Police Scotland confirmed that Hyndland Road was cordoned off between Clarence Drive and Crown Road at approximately 4.50pm on Wednesday following a report raising concern for a person.

Drivers have been requested to use alternative routes around the area.

The latest closure comes after emergency crews responded to a serious crash on the same road at 3.45pm on Tuesday.

A 13-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and two 13-year-old girls are currently in hospital, where their conditions are described as stable.

A 34-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man sustained serious injuries, though no further details were provided regarding the seventh individual.

Paramedics treated the 29-year-old male driver at the scene.

Social media photographs showed multiple police cars, fire engines and ambulances attending, with glass from a nearby bus stop shattered across the pavement after a vehicle appeared to mount the curb.

Officers are treating Tuesday's crash as a road traffic collision. A police spokesperson said investigations remain ongoing, adding there was "not believed to be any criminality".
