An appeal has been launched after a teenage motorcyclist was struck by a car in a hit and run in Glasgow's east end this morning.
The incident occurred at around 7.45am on the A8, Alexandra Parade, near to its junction with Alexandra Park.
The 18-year-old motorcyclist was hit by a car and subsequently thrown from his bike where he then collided with a Transit van.
He was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he was treated for serious injuries.
Police Scotland have now launched an appeal to trace the driver of a white BMW 1 series car that failed to stop and drove off towards the M8 motorway.
Police Constable William Allan, of Road Patrol West, said: "A teenager has been seriously injured as a result of this road collision and we are looking to trace the driver who failed to stop.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at the time and witnessed this or anyone that may have dashcam footage to help track down the driver of the white BMW car.
"If you have any information that can help us with our investigation, please contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 0583 of Thursday 28 November 2019."
