Glasgow torrential downpour causes burst pipe with street submerged and residents left without water

A horrendous downpour last night caused havoc on the roads of Glasgow as commuters struggled to travel around the city.

In Bearsden the adverse weather resulted in a pipe on Seafield Avenue bursting and residents in the area being left without water this morning as Scottish Water carry out crucial work.

Video from the scene shows a vast amount of water gushing out from the road and adding to the deluge already visible on the streets.

The southside was also heavily effected by the weather, with a number of roads deemed unusable due to flooding.
