An elderly woman has died after being hit by a taxi as she crossed a busy road - the latest in a number of deaths on Scotland's roads in recent days.
The 82-year-old was struck in the Springburn area of Glasgow at about 7.30pm on Wednesday.
She was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary with multiple serious injuries, but later died.
Police Scotland said the male driver of the white Skoda Octavia taxi was not injured but was very upset and shaken as a result of the incident.
A report on the crash, which happened on Springburn Road at Fountainwell Road, will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Appealing for witnesses, Constable Stuart Bell said: "Where the crash occurred is an extremely busy road being one of the main routes into the north of the city.
"I would appeal to any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to contact officers at the Greater Glasgow road policing department via 101."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
