The incident occurred on Hyndland Road at around 3.45pm, with unconfirmed reports claiming the car had mounted the pavement before smashing into a bus shelter and scaffolding.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Around 3.45pm on Tuesday, 10 November, 2026, we received a report of a crash involving a car and a number of pedestrians on Hyndland Road, Glasgow.

“Seven people have been taken to hospital for treatment, and to be assessed, following the incident and the driver has been assessed by paramedics at the scene.

“Officers remain in attendance and enquiries are ongoing into the incident which is being treated as a road traffic collision.

“Hyndland Road remains closed and members of the public are urged to avoid the area.”

The SFRS confirmed it had dispatched two appliances to Hyndland Road following the collision.
