Off-road buggy overturns on busy Glasgow street after smashing into bike railings

An off-road vehicle has overturned after crashing into bike railings on a busy Glasgow street on Tuesday afternoon.

Police, paramedics and a recovery truck descended on Ingram Street following the crash on April 11.

Gordon MacDonald, who lives in nearby flats, recalled how he heard "a big screech" before the crash.

The 47-year-old said: "I heard a big screech and then a smash from my flat with the windows closed so it was pretty big.

"I went down to see what happened and saw the driver sitting out of the vehicle. He was waiting for the ambulance which has now arrived and the police have also arrived.

"He is lucky he has hit a bike rail because that’s the edge of the pavement and if he kept going he would’ve possibly smashed into people, it’s dangerous.

"For some reason, we get a lot of people on mini quads in this area revving engines and aggressively accelerating along the street.

Police Scotland have confirmed officers remain at the scene of the crash.

A spokesperson said: “Around 3.15pm on Tuesday, 11 April, 2023, police were called to a report of a one-vehicle crash on Ingram Street, Glasgow. Emergency services remain at the scene.”

We have asked the Scottish Ambulance Service for a comment.
