A MAN is fighting for his life after being hit by a car on a Scottish road.
The 32-year-old was walking on Cowcaddens Road in Glasgow at around 10pm on Saturday night when he was struck by a Ford Ecosport.
The incident happened between the junctions of Cambridge Street and Hope Street. The road was completely blocked off by police for hours.
Paramedics rushed the man to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to be treated for his injuries.
Medical staff say he is in a "critical" condition.
Meanwhile, the driver of the Ford Ecosport was not injured in the collision.
Officers have since reopened the road but they are continuing to investigate how the incident unfolded.
They are urging any witnesses or anyone with footage of the crash to get in touch.
Sergeant Jack Swindells of the Road Policing Unit based at Helen Street, Glasgow said: “Our investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident is ongoing.
“I would urge any witnesses or anyone with information that may assist to contact us.
"I would also urge anyone driving on the road around the time of the crash with dashcam footage to get in touch.”
Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting reference number 3566 of November 25.
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!
