A 53-year-old man has died after being struck by a car in Glasgow.

The incident happened at around 10.10pm on Thursday on Great Western Road, near Cowdenhill Road, in the Knightswood area.

The man was hit by a white Audi while crossing the road.

He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but died a short time later.

The 20-year-old man who was driving the Audi was not injured.

Sergeant Paul McPherson, of the Dumbarton roads policing department, said: "Whilst we were able to speak to a number of people last night following the crash, we'd still like to hear from anyone, particularly drivers with dashcam footage who were in the area at the time.

"We're also keen to speak to the driver of a black Toyota Avensis private hire taxi who had stopped to assist but left just before police arrived.

"He might have information that will help our inquiry.''
