Man, 39, dies after being hit by a bus in Glasgow's West End

A MAN has died after he was hit by a bus in the early hours of Monday morning in Glasgow.

The 39-year-old was struck by a bus on Argyle Street, near to Gray Street in the area of Finnieston.

Police were called to the crash around 12.05am and the force said the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 44-year-old male driver of the Volvo bus was uninjured. No passengers were injured.

The community page No1Seems2Care reported on the incident on their page saying police put "big barriers" around the bus. 

Sergeant Nicholas Twigg from the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Govan said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died.

“We are carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances and the cause of the crash.

“I would urge any witnesses, or anyone with information or personal footage that may assist our investigation to contact 101 quoting reference number 0008 of 5 June.”

The road death is the latest in a number across the city of Glasgow.

Last week, we reported on the death of Cameron Eaglesham who was struck by the vehicle on Duke Street at around 10.40am on Thursday, June 1.

We also reported on the death of 64-year-old cyclist John Morton who died after he was hit by a grey Audi A3 while riding his bike on Fielden Street. The crash happened on Monday, May 29 at 8.40am

At the weekend, a 39-year-old man died after he was hit by a red Scania HGV on the M74.
