Two young women were killed today in a horror crash in Glasgow city centre next to Buchanan bus station.
The women, aged 18 and 20, died after they were struck by a Range Rover.
Witnesses said the car mowed into a number of pedestrians at a crossing as the car travelled along North Hanover Street.
The horrific accident happened around 11am, close to the junction with Killermont Street.
Emergency vehicles rushed to the scene and police sealed off the road close to the John Lewis store.
Belongings were strewn across the road.
Paramedics were seen treating one victim on the roadside. The driver was lifted into an ambulance in a wheelchair. As well as the male driver, another man and two women pedestrians were taken to hospital.
The women later died in hospital.
One witness said he heard “an almighty bang” and turned round to see the Range Rover “tearing along the pavement”.
The dark-coloured Range Rover then continued, taking down a lamppost and then struck a second lamppost, which landed on top of the car.
One man walking near the bus station said: “I was nearing the end of the street and I heard the loudest noise.
“I looked over and saw the Range Rover still travelling along the pavement. It then hit a lamppost and the front window was all smashed in.
“Several people had been hit and it just looked like carnage.”
A woman doctor passing the scene stopped to help and administered first aid and CPR before ambulance teams arrived.
She said: “I stopped to do what I could. They are very badly injured and I just did as much as I could for them.”
Four ambulances were sent to the scene, along with a fleet of police cars.
Police are appealing to any other witnesses to contact them.
