Six people have been killed and seven others seriously injured after an out-of-control bin lorry crashed into pedestrians in central Glasgow.

The council vehicle then crashed into the Millennium Hotel, near Queen Street station in George Square, at 14:30.

Eyewitnesses described emergency services battling to save the lives of injured people on the street.

Truly horrific, I saw this on the news about an hour ago... Couldn't have been a worse time of the year too.

Considering one witness said the driver was slumped over the wheel, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd had a heart attack.
Falling asleep at 2:30pm doesn't seem like a rational explanation.

I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
Still a terrible incident though, I hope they're able to save those who were injured.

This is horrible, and 3 days before Christmas is worse. Stuff like this makes me sad. Especially as they were killed while Christmas shopping:(
