A Glasgow man sustained life-threatening injuries after being hit by a bus and dragged under its wheels in the city centre.
Highly-trained medics descended on the scene to save 40-year-old Kenneth McLennan's life. He was given a blood transfusion and intubated in the middle of a busy road.
The horrifying incident was declared a Code Red emergency - the most serious - and saw Kenneth be rushed into hospital.

Tha devastating aftermath of the accident, reported to have happened near Central Station, will be aired in the first episode of Channel 4's Rescue: Extreme Medics, which returns on Monday, May 15.
During the episode, Kenneth’s mum relives the moment she was told her son was fighting for his life and details the personal challenges he has faced throughout the years.
With exclusive access to the Scottish Trauma Network, each programme follows super-skilled medics as they use helicopters and rapid-response cars to deliver advanced hospital treatment at the scenes of the most serious of accidents.
Using cameras that are worn by the medics and with new unique access to the trauma teams, viewers will experience what medics do as they save lives on-scene.
The series also features in-depth interviews with the families and loved ones of the patients to reveal how the accidents occurred and the emotional impact it's had.
Viewers will also get access to A&E departments in Glasgow as part of the gripping new series.
Produced by Glasgow-based factual indie Firecrest Films, this 360-degree insight into trauma is set against the backdrop of Scotland’s epic and wild landscape and captures dramatic and emotional stories in a way that has never been seen before.
Michael McAvoy, Head of Documentary at Firecrest Films adds “At the heart of this series are the magnificent medical teams who go to extraordinary lengths to save lives in such incredibly difficult surroundings.
"Our unique access and our use of kit, such as bodycams, give viewers the chance to be almost right by the medics as they undertake complex medical procedures in challenging and remote locations across Scotland.
"Rescue: Extreme Medics is unique as it shows different medical departments all working together. In this series, you see stories that take you from traumas on the hillside, to surgery in hospital and then the rehab that gets patients home.”
