Glasgow flash floods cause chaos on roads as ambulance pushed to safety

Glaswegians have been basking in the sun during the heatwave, however, shock flash floods on Friday resulted in chaos on the roads.

Videos circulated online showing vehicles struggling to wade through the massive amounts of water collected on the surface.

Some people were left stranded in shops as they tried to wait out the thunderstorm, whilst others braved the vicious weather.

TikTok user George McLellan posted a video of Aitkenhead Road as a taxi attempted to bulldoze its way through the flooded street.

George then said he saw a guy go through on a bike and it was up to his waist and two men were spotted pushing an ambulance away from the water.

MSP Alison Thewliss was also in the midst of the storm as she was travelling on a bus at the time of the downpour.

She praised the drivers for getting everyone home safe.

She tweeted: "All credit to the @FirstinGlasgow bus drivers getting people home in this thunderstorm. Please all be careful out there, it's risky to drive through water."
