6 Reported Dead After Lorry Crashes Into Pedestrians In Crowded Square In Glasgow

Several people are seriously injured and there are possible fatalities after a bin lorry lost control and plowed into pedestrians in George Square in central Glasgow.

According to the BBC, up to six people were killed in the crash, but those numbers have not yet been confirmed by police. 

The lorry crashed into the Millennium Hotel and hit people that were were waiting to cross the road outside Queen Street station, Sky News reports. It's a particularly busy time of the year for shoppers in George Square. 

"There is no structural damage to the hotel. This is bang in the middle of Glasgow's shopping area," Sky correspondent James Matthews said from the scene of the accident. 

"The lorry collided with pedestrians before ramming into the structure and that has contributed to the casualty count."

George Square is now closed off as emergency services attend to the scene.
