A woman has been rushed to hospital after she was struck by a bus in Glasgow City Centre.
Emergency teams were called out at 11.30am on Thursday to Argyle Street at the corner of Queen Street.
The woman was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
A police spokesman said: “Her injuries are not life-threatening.”
The accident is near to the same spot where two elderly people were hit by a bus earlier this year.
Pensioner Brian Rose, 76, died in hospital three weeks after the crash in May. His 72-year-old wife suffered serious injuries.
A spokesman from the Scottish Ambulance service said: "We received a report at 11.30am of a person being struck by a bus on Queen Street at the corner of Argyle Street.”
A police spokeswoman said the woman was under the bus, but was not trapped.
Police set up a cordon around the bus on Queen Street and Argyle Street and closed the road for several hours.
Witnesses described seeing a woman lying on the road underneath the 1A First Bus which had stopped at the bend where Argyle Street turns into Queen Street.
Craig McLaughlin, 42, a taxi driver, said: "There were people all around her, they wanted to pull her out but it was best to leave her until the paramedics came.
"She was maybe in her 50s or 60s."
He added: "I think she hit her head and fell back, she didn't seem to have been dragged underneath completely.
"The bus driver looked very shaken."
Mr McLaughlin said that corner was a problem for traffic and pedestrians.
He said: "It always seems to be there that people are hit."
The road reopened around 2pm.
