Police are dealing with a second incident on the same Glasgow road where six pedestrians were injured when a car mounted a pavement on Tuesday.

Officers closed Hyndland Road in the west end of the city at about 16:50 following a report of concern for a person.

It came just 24 hours after a car mounted the pavement, and hit a bus stop and scaffolding before coming to a halt. The road reopened at about 23:30.

Emergency services remain at the scene and police have asked drivers to use an alternative route.

Police Scotland said a 34-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man suffered serious injuries following the incident at about 15:45 on Tuesday.

A 13-year-old boy, two 13-year-old girls and another girl, 12, are in a stable condition.

All four children are pupils at the nearby Hyndland Secondary School.

The driver of the car - a 29-year-old man - was treated by paramedics at the scene.

A police spokesperson said investigations were ongoing but there was "not believed to be any criminality".
