A young man has been badly injured after being knocked down by a car during morning rush hour on the M8 in Glasgow. The 22-year-old was struck by a red Toyota that was travelling eastbound, near Junction 24, Helen Street, at around 8.20am on Thursday.
He was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment, with medics describing his condition as “serious”. The driver of the motor, 51, was uninjured and did not require medical treatment.
The busy section of the motorway was closed for a short time to allow for accident investigation work by police officers. Members of the public who may have witnessed the incident or who have dashcam footage are being asked to contact investigators.
