A woman has died and a pensioner is fighting for his life following a three-vehicle crash in Glasgow.

Officers were called to the scene at the A725 Bellshill Bypass at around 4.20pm on Tuesday, August 30, to reports of a crash.

Emergency services transported the 66-year-old female driver of the one of the cars, alongside a 70-year-old male passenger, to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The woman later died while at the hospital and the man remains in ‘critical’ condition.

The road was closed for around nine hours to allow police enquiries to be carried out.

Sergeant Gemma Blackadder said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of those involved in this crash.

“Our enquiries into the crash are ongoing and we are appealing for the help of the public. The area was busy at the time and I would ask anyone who witnessed the crash and has not already spoken to police to get in touch.

“I would also ask anyone who was in the area at the time to review any dashcam footage and get in touch if they can assist.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 2323 of August 30.”
