Hyndland Road is closed, and the public is being asked to avoid the area.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that they sent two fire appliances to the scene. A spokesperson for the service said, "Two casualties have been taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and a further six are being treated on scene by the Scottish Ambulance Service."

The fire service's casualty numbers were shared in an earlier update, while Police Scotland later confirmed that seven people had been taken to the hospital.

Glasgow City Council announced that Hyndland Road is closed between Clarence Drive and Novar Drive. A council spokesperson said, according to Sky News on Tuesday, "Road users are advised to avoid the area and consider alternative routes."

A local resident shared their experience with The Scotsman. They talked about hearing the crash before looking out of the window.

"I didn’t see it happen, I just heard a loud bang and a lot of screaming and came to the window," the resident said.

They added, "As far as I can tell, a car mounted the pavement through a scaffolding tunnel for about 50 metres. I see folk have been out inspecting the scaffolding since."

Police Scotland said investigations are ongoing and urged the public to stay away from the area. The incident is being treated as a road traffic collision, but there are no further details about the driver or the extent of the victims' injuries at this time.
