A hit and run in Darnley has left a 33 year old man in hospital with serious injuries.

He was crossing Nitshill Road at it's junction with Darnley Mains Road when he was hit by the dark coloured Seat Ibiza around 4:35 on Saturday afternoon.

The car didn't stop and continued on towards Nitshill.

Members of the public ran to help the man who was taken to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

The vehicle is thought to be a black or dark-coloured 2018 Seat Ibiza. Detectives say the car involved will have damage to it's headlight and bumper and is also missing the driver side wing mirror.

Sergeant Kenneth Canavan, Greater Glasgow Road Policing Unit, said: "Nitshill road at Darnley Mains Road is a busy junction for both traffic and pedestrians. I would appeal to anyone who saw the crash happen, or has dashcam footage, to come forward.

"I am also keen to hear from anyone who knows of a relatively new dark coloured Seat car that is damaged, possibly missing a door mirror or no longer parked at the usual place. Any information on this would greatly assist our investigation.

"Anyone with information can contact the Road Policing Department in Glasgow via 101."
