Seven Taken to Hospital After Car Strikes Pedestrians on Glasgow's Hyndland Road

Seven people were taken to hospital after a car struck pedestrians on Hyndland Road in Glasgow's west end on Tuesday afternoon. Police Scotland said officers were called at about 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10, and stayed at the scene into the evening while the road remained closed.

What the police said

"Around 3.45pm on Tuesday, 10 November, 2026, we received a report of a crash involving a car and a number of pedestrians on Hyndland Road, Glasgow," a Police Scotland spokesperson said. "Seven people have been taken to hospital for treatment, and to be assessed, following the incident and the driver has been assessed by paramedics at the scene."

Police said enquiries were ongoing and that the incident was being treated as a road traffic collision. The force urged the public to avoid the area. The extent of the injuries was not known on Tuesday evening, and police reported no deaths. Officers also spoke to staff at nearby businesses and asked them to review CCTV footage as enquiries continued.

Fire service counted eight casualties

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it mobilised two appliances to Hyndland Road at 3:51 p.m. to support the other emergency services. The service put the total number of casualties at eight. It said two casualties had been taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and a further six were being treated at the scene by the Scottish Ambulance Service.

The two services issued their figures at different points in the afternoon. Neither had published an update on the condition of the injured by Tuesday evening.

Road closed in the west end

Glasgow City Council said Hyndland Road was closed between Clarence Drive and Novar Drive, with traffic diverted away from the scene. Police kept a cordon in place along the road while emergency crews worked.

Reports of a car on the pavement

There were unconfirmed reports that the car mounted the pavement and struck a bus stop and scaffolding before the crash ended. Police had not confirmed that account by Tuesday evening. One witness who arrived shortly after the crash told the Glasgow Times that the glass of a bus stop on the road was completely shattered. The Orbit Post has not verified the route the car took, and police have not said what caused the crash.

First Minister reacts

Scotland's First Minister, John Swinney, posted on X: "I am deeply concerned by reports of a car collision involving pedestrians on Hyndland Road in Glasgow."

Police Scotland asked anyone who saw the crash to come forward. The road was still closed on Tuesday evening, and the force said enquiries into the circumstances of the crash were continuing.
