Woman dies after being hit by car in Glasgow
A 40-year-old woman has died after being struck by and trapped under a car in Glasgow.
Emergency services were called to Wellington Lane in the city centre at about 14:40 on Tuesday following a report of woman lying on the ground who had been struck by a car and became stuck under it. The woman's family has been informed.
The driver of the car was uninjured. Police inquiries found that the woman had been dropped off in Wellington Lane just before the collision.

A section of Wellington Street and Wellington Lane was closed following the incident, and the roads reopened shortly before 18:00.
Police erected a blue tarpaulin on Wellington Lane and a collision investigation unit was on site.
