A minister from a church in Glasgow City Centre says he’s praying for the families of people who have died after a bin lorry crashed into a group of pedestrians.

Police Scotland has confirmed there is an “ongoing serious incident” in Glasgow’s George Square close to Queen Street Station.

The Ambulance service says two people have died whilst the number of causalities is in double figures.

Revd Dr Colin Dow from Glasgow City Free Church told Premier: “It’s too raw to even think about it at the moment.

“When you think about things like this, you just have to think, why oh Lord?

“How long will these things happen? Last year we had the Clutha crash here in Glasgow and this year we’ve got this.

“And you want the Lord to bring peace to these people at Christmas because their families are going to be absolutely devastated.”

Eyewitnesses described bodies lying in the road and ‘hundreds’ of emergency services.

The Scottish Fire Service tweeted: “Firefighters are in attendance at a serious incident in Queen Street, Glasgow. Our crews are working alongside other emergency responders.”

Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, who’s a Catholic, tweeted: “There is a major incident in Glasgow’s George Square. Multiple emergency services on the scene. Thoughts & prayers with everyone injured.”
