A woman has died in hospital following a two-car crash that also left a man fighting for his life and a pedestrian seriously injured.

Margaret Pearson was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after the crash that took place on Todd Street, Glasgow, at around 10.50pm on Sunday, March 27.

The 75-year-old, who was a passenger in a black Mercedes E220 private hire car when it collided with a Ford Fiesta, died four days later.

The Fiesta’s driver, a 27-year-old man, was also taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

A 56-year-old pedestrian was also seriously injured in the incident but has since been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.

Police have issued a re-appeal for witnesses as they bid to establish the full circumstances.

Sergeant Adnan Alam of the Road Policing Unit in Greater Glasgow said: “Our thoughts are with the woman’s family and friends, as well as everyone affected by this incident.

“We are continuing with enquiries to establish the full circumstances which led to this incident and I would urge anyone who can help to get in touch.

“You can call 101, quoting reference 3829 of 27 March.”
