A man is fighting for life after being hit by a car.

The 23-year-old man is in a serious condition in hospital after being run down in Moodiesburn on Friday just after midnight.

A motorist driving a silver Ford Fiesta hit the man who was crossing Stoneyetts Road, close to the junction of Gartferry road, before driving off.

Emergency services were called and took the man to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he remains.

Police say shortly before the incident, the Ford Fiesta was seen travelling alongside a grey Vauxhall Corsa in Central Way, Cumbernauld.

The vehicles then travelled along the A8011, onto the M80, M73, A80 and other roads in the Moodiesburn and Chryston areas of North Lanarkshire.

They arrived at Stoneyetts Road, before the ford hit the man and turned right on to Gartferry Road.

Officers shut the area for several hours to conduct inquiries.

Now anyone who has dash cam footage or witnessed the incident is asked to contact Motherwell Road police office via 101.
