A teenager has died and a 20-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital after they were hit by a van in the east end of Glasgow.
Emergency services rushed to Barrowfield Street in the city at around 6.45am on Sunday after reports of the crash.
Paramedics treated an 18-year-old man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second man was also rushed to Glasgow’s Royal Infirmary after the incident.
The 20-year-old’s condition has been described as critical by staff at the hospital.
Police said inquires were at a very early stage and urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact them as soon as possible.
A large section of the road has been sealed off and a forensic tent has been erected at the roadside.
A white van with the driver's door open was parked at an angle nearby.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Extensive enquiries, which are at a very early stage, to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing.”
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
