Police have asked people to stay away from a road in Glasgow after a car collided with several pedestrians, injuring eight people.
Police Scotland said Hyndland Road, in the city’s west end, was shut after the vehicle struck a number of pedestrians at approximately 3.45pm on Tuesday.
Seven people were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital by emergency crews, while paramedics treated the driver at the scene.
The driver is believed to have suffered a medical emergency before the crash.
Witnesses reported seeing the car mount the pavement and pass through a bus stop before hitting two or three people sheltering beneath scaffolding near a GP surgery.

Local residents also reported finding shattered glass around the bus stop after the crash.
Police closed the section between Clarence Drive and Novar Drive and cleared people from the area outside.

The Glasgow crash happened only a week after the death of 12-year-old Sophia Aitken, who was struck by a bus in Ayrshire.
The schoolgirl was hit by a Stagecoach bus on Lauchlan Way in Kilwinning at around 1.10pm last Tuesday.
Emergency services attended, but the Kilwinning Academy pupil was pronounced dead at the scene near her school.
No one else was hurt, and police have launched an investigation into the collision.
In a statement, Sophia’s family remembered her as their “ray of sunshine”.
