1320Lichtie Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think it involves a lorry. They've just tweeted this? Despite their reporter tweeting that 6 have died?!? @RadioClydeNews: A bin lorry has crashed on to the pavement outside Queen Street station. There have been several injuries although not yet known how serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizzy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Refuse lorry has crashed into the Millennium Hotel. Office gossip suggests it careered all the way up Queen Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Jesus, that's right where people would have been standing waiting to cross the road. Hopefully the guy from Clyde is wrong and everyone got out the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 BBC just reporting "will cause traffic problems" which seems quite far from the reports of fatalities. Hopefully they're right, and not just useless as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizzy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The Record also suggesting fatalities. The fact people are milling past suggests no fatalities at that end of the street. Hope that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbineTon Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Someone on my FB, who is apparently in that area, is reporting that there is body parts lying everywhere and white sheets over people. Doesnt sound too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 From the Herald: Witnesses said the driver seemed to lose control in Queen Street then careered into George Square, knocking down bystanders. Pieces if traffic lights and parts of cars hit were left strewn across the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 @Mattycoyle: The scene at GlasgowQueen street station. Several ambulance crews. No confirmation on casualties as yet http://t.co/MlxZ7aAIVW Surely to f**k a reporter wouldn't tweet about casualties if there wasn't any confirmed? Would they...?

Nightmare Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Images of injuries right down at the Gallery of Modern Art - Looks like it lost control a long way down Queen Street That's a good 100 metres, at least. Wonder how the f**k it could be knocking people down there and still gone far enough to crash into the Millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
