Boy, 2, rushed to hospital after pram hit by car during morning rush hour

A two-year-old boy has been hospitalised after his pram was involved in a collision with a car during morning rush hour.

The young Scot was rushed to hospital after the crash and thankfully nobody else was injured in the collision.

The crash happened on Great Western Road, near Anniesland Cross Glasgow at around 8.10am.

Emergency services attended the incident and the boy was quickly taken to the Royal Hospital for Children for treatment.

Medical staff said he had not sustained any serious injuries.

The eastbound section of the Great Western Road remained shut for almost three hours and Glasgow City Council confirmed the road reopened at 11.18am.

A police spokesperson said: "A two-year-old boy has been taken to the Royal Hospital for Children after the pram he was in was in collision with a Volkswagen Golf in Great Western Road, near to Lincoln Avenue, around 8.10 am this morning, Thursday, January 27.

"According to medical staff the child did not sustain any serious injuries. No-one else was injured.

"The road was closed for around three hours and enquiries are ongoing.".

This comes the same week that a car crashed into an Asda supermarket in Blantyre, Lanarkshire.

"The police were there, the fire brigade were just arriving and the ambulance had not arrived.

"I was told that the gentleman in the car got his foot stuck under a pedal.

"He was in an ambulance outside when I left."
