A man has died after being knocked down by a car whilst crossing a road in Glasgow.

The 53-year-old pedestrian was struck by a white Audi in the Knightswood area of the city at around 10.10pm on Thursday.

The incident happened on Great Western Road, near to Cowdenhill Road.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he died a short time later.

The 20-year-old male driver was uninjured.

Sergeant Paul McPherson said: “Whilst we were able to speak to a number of people last night following the crash, we’d still like to hear from anyone, particularly drivers with dashcam footage who were in the area at the time.  

“We’re also keen to speak to the driver of a black Toyota Avensis private hire taxi who had stopped to assist but left just before police arrived.  

“He might have information that will help our inquiry.”

If you have any information, call 101.
