A 65-year-old man has died after being hit by a bus in Glasgow this morning.

Officers were called out to Great Western Road around 7.30 to a collision involving a bus and a pedestrian near the junction with Horselethill Road.

Emergency services arrived and pronounced the man dead at the scene.

His next of kin are aware.

Great Western Road remains closed between Byres Road and Cleveden Road while investigations are carried out. This is expected to remain closed for the next couple of hours.

Road Policing Sergeant Nick Twigg said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died. Our officers will continue to support them as enquiries progress.

“We’ve already spoken to a number of witnesses but I’d appeal to anyone who saw what happened, and hasn’t already been in contact with police, to please get in touch.

“Likewise, if you have any footage of the area at the time, perhaps dashcam or private CCTV, please review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”
