Floral tributes at Glasgow Broomielaw as picture emerges of 22-year-old cyclist killed in crash

Floral tributes have been left at the scene of a city centre crash that killed a 22-year-old cyclist.

Bunches of flowers were seen near the Riverboat Casino, where the French woman died on Friday, January 27, after being struck by a lorry.

The crash took place on the Broomielaw at the junction with King George V Bridge at around 10.10am and prompted a huge emergency services response.

Emma Newman, from Moulineaux in Paris, was named as the cyclist who was hit during the tragic incident. She was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on Friday morning where she died shortly after.

Now, flowers have been laid at the scene of the crash as police appeal for any witnesses to the collision to come forward, including anyone with dash-cam footage.

Sergeant Paul Mellis said: “Our thoughts are with Emma’s family and friends and our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.

“I am appealing to anyone who saw what happened and who has not yet spoken to officers to get in touch, particularly if you have dash-cam that could assist with our investigation.

"Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0917 of Friday, 27 January, 2023."
