Google MapsA man is in a critical condition after being struck by a bus in Glasgow city centre.
The 40-year-old was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital shortly after 1.45pm on Saturday following the incident on Midland Street.
Emergency crews quickly locked down the scene at the junction with Jamaica Street before closing the road.
It remained shut for more than seven hours while initial investigations took place as traffic as diverted away from the area.
The driver of the bus was uninjured but officers have now launched an appeal to establish the full circumstances surrounding the collision.
Sergeant Ryan McAuley, of Police Scotland’s road policing unit said they are particularly keen to hear from drivers who have dashboard-mounted cameras that may have captured the incident on film.
He added: “The area was quite busy at the time of the crash and I am appealing to anyone who has not yet spoken to police to come forward.
“I am keen to obtain any dash-cam footage of the crash as well, so if you were in the area at the time and may have captured footage, then please get in touch.”
Information can be passed to officers via 101 quoting reference number 1837 of Saturday, August 20.
