Police are appealing for witnesses to a crash that left a man fatally injured in Glasgow.

The 80-year-old was driving a black Audi A3 on Glasgow Road, Garrowhill, when it left the road and collided with a tree on the morning of Sunday, April 24.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 8.20am and the pensioner was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary before being transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University hospital.

However medical staff were unable to save him and he died from his injuries a short time later.

Police are now appealing for information as they look to establish the full circumstances of the crash and anyone who was travelling in the area around the time of the incident has been asked to come forward.

Sergeant Douglas Scott, of the Glasgow Road Policing Unit, said: “At this time, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased, following their tragic loss.

“As we continue our enquiries, I would urge anyone with information that could help with our investigation or any potential dashcam footage to please get in touch.”

Anyone with any information should contact Police Scotland on 101.
