A woman has died after being hit by a car in Glasgow.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash which happened in Balmore Road at about 6.35pm on Saturday in the Parkhouse area of the city.
The woman was crossing the road, near to its junction with Haywood Street, when she was hit by a Ford Focus.
Emergency services attended but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 49-year-old male driver was uninjured in the crash.
Sergeant Alan Cook, from the road policing unit at Govan, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the woman at this time.
“Our enquiries are ongoing into the cause of this crash and I would urge any witnesses to the crash, or anyone driving on this road shortly before the crash happened, to contact us as soon as possible.
“I would also appeal to anyone with dash-cam footage that may assist our enquiry to contact us.”
Anyone with information on the crash should contact officers by calling 101 quoting reference 3479 of November 27.
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
