Four school children were among six pedestrians injured when a car mounted a pavement in Glasgow.

Police Scotland said a 34-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man suffered serious injuries on Hyndland Road, in the west end of the city, at about 15:45 on Tuesday.

The car, which was driven by a 29-year-old man, hit a bus stop and scaffolding before coming to a halt.

Officers said a 13-year-old boy, two 13-year-old girls and another girl, 12, were in a stable condition.

A force spokesperson said investigations were ongoing but there was "not believed to be any criminality".

The driver of the car was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Officers closed the road for about eight hours before it reopened at about 23:30 on Tuesday.

Police urged anyone who witnessed the crash to get in touch.

A cordon remains in place around the scaffolding but traffic on the busy road was moving in both directions on Wednesday.

Insp Ryan Curran said: "Our investigation into this crash remains ongoing, although there is not believed to be any criminality.

"We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash, or who was in the area around the time and may have dashcam or other relevant footage to come forward."
