A woman is in a critical condition after being struck by a van whilst walking along the Kingston Bridge.

The incident took place at around 1.10am on Sunday, February 13, on the M8 near to the Junction 18 Bothwell Street off ramp.

Emergency services attended and the 27-year-old woman, a pedestrian, was taken by ambulance to hospital.

Medical staff describe her condition as critical, whilst the 53-year-old driver of the white van that struck her was not injured. 

A section of the M8 was closed to allow crash scene investigators to conduct their enquiries.

Sergeant Kenny Malaney, of Road Policing Unit Glasgow, said: “We are currently trying to establish exactly what happened here and I am keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, or saw a pedestrian on that area of the motorway, at around 1am and hasn’t yet contacted police.

“In particular, I would ask anyone with dash cam devices to check their footage as it could hold images which could prove to be significant in our enquiries.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 0282 of Sunday, February 13, 2022.”
