Man tragically dies after being hit by car while walking on Scots street as probe launched

A man has died after being hit by a car while walking down a Scots street.

Emergency services raced to the scene of the crash, which took place on  Royston Road, Glasgow at around 10.45pm on Friday, December 17.

The 55-year-old pedestrian was hit by a black Peugeot 3008 in the Germiston area of the city.

However, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene, according to Police Scotland.

The female driver of the car was uninjured and the road was closed for six hours for a full collision investigation to take place.

Sergeant Kenneth Malaney, of Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who lost his life.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash. We are appealing for anyone with any information who has not already spoken to officers to get in touch.

“We are particularly keen to speak to the occupants of a taxi we believe was in the area around the time of the crash.

“I would also urge anyone with dash cam footage which captures the vehicle or the pedestrian to get in contact, as they may be able to assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with any information should contact the police on 101, quoting incident number 3768 of Friday, December 17.
