A man has died after being struck by a car in Glasgow.

The 55-year-old died at the scene after being hit by a black Peugeot 3008 on Royston Road at 10.45pm on Friday night.

The 40-year-old female driver of the car was uninjured following the crash. 

Police shut down the road for around six hour hours as a full investigation took place.

Sergeant Kenneth Malaney, of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who lost his life.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash. We are appealing for anyone with any information who has not already spoken to officers to get in touch.

“We are particularly keen to speak to the occupants of a taxi we believe was in the area around the time of the crash.

“I would also urge anyone with dash cam footage which captures the vehicle or the pedestrian to get in contact, as they may be able to assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with any information, should contact police on 101, quoting incident 3768 of December 17.
