Three people in hospital after taxi hits pedestrians

Three people have been taken to hospital by ambulance after a taxi struck a group of pedestrians in Glasgow city centre.

Police said the collision, which involved a black cab, happened at about 13:50 on the city's Union Street.

The fire service was also called to assist at the scene, at the junction with Gordon Street.

Road closures are in place and people are being asked to avoid the area.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Around 1.50pm, we attended a report of a crash involving a taxi and three pedestrians on Union Street, at the junction with Gordon Street, in Glasgow City Centre.

"Three people were taken by ambulance to hospital and one person made their way from the scene.

"There are road closures in place on Union Street, Renfield Street and St Vincent Street. Gordon Street is open to pedestrians only."

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "We received a call at 1.55pm to assist partners at Union Street in Glasgow.

"Operations control mobilised two appliances and a specialist resource to the scene.

"We have now left the incident."
