POLICE have issued an appeal after the death of a pedestrian who was hit by a bus in Glasgow.
The 64-year-old man was struck by the bus at 7.30am on January 27 on Great Western Road, near the junction with Horselethill Road.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers are keen to speak with the driver of a blue/grey VW Sharan or Touran taxi which was travelling on Great Western Road.
Police say the driver may have witnessed the horror bus crash or could have dashcam footage that could assist with inquiries.
Road policing sergeant Scott Gourlay said: “Extensive inquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this crash.
“Think back, were you in that area that day and did you see what happened? If so, please get in touch.
“Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the man who has died. Our officers will continue to support them.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 0766 of January 27.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
