A MAN has died after he was hit by a bus in the early hours of Monday morning in Glasgow.
The 39-year-old was struck by a bus on Argyle Street, near to Gray Street in the area of Finnieston.
Police were called to the crash around 12.05am and the force said the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 44-year-old male driver of the Volvo bus was uninjured. No passengers were injured.
The community page No1Seems2Care reported on the incident on their page saying police put "big barriers" around the bus.
Sergeant Nicholas Twigg from the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Govan said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died.
“We are carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances and the cause of the crash.
“I would urge any witnesses, or anyone with information or personal footage that may assist our investigation to contact 101 quoting reference number 0008 of 5 June.”
The road death is the latest in a number across the city of Glasgow.
Last week, we reported on the death of Cameron Eaglesham who was struck by the vehicle on Duke Street at around 10.40am on Thursday, June 1.
We also reported on the death of 64-year-old cyclist John Morton who died after he was hit by a grey Audi A3 while riding his bike on Fielden Street. The crash happened on Monday, May 29 at 8.40am

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!
