Pedestrian rushed to hospital after being hit by car on M8 in Glasgow

A pedestrian has been rushed to hospital after being hit by a car while crossing the M8 motorway in Glasgow.

Officers were called to the westbound carriageway between junctions 15 and 16 around 10.50pm on Saturday, November 5.

A 51-year-old man was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries.

The road was closed while investigations were carried out by police, later reopening around 1.30am on Sunday, November 6.

Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances of the incident and officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Sergeant Chris Hoggans of Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit said: “I would urge anyone who was on that stretch of the M8 around 10.50pm on Saturday and saw a man on the carriageway to get in touch with police. It’s important we find out exactly what happened.

“Similarly, if you have dash cam footage from the area at the time, please review it and bring anything of significance to our attention.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 4677 of November 5, 2022.
