Garbage truck ploughs into Christmas shoppers in Glasgow, kills several
LONDON - A garbage truck careered along a sidewalk crowded with Christmas shoppers in a busy shopping street in Glasgow on Monday killing several people, police said.
A spokesman for Scotland's police service said he could not give an exact number. At least seven people were seriously injured and the number might rise, he said. Sky News said six people had been killed.
One witness told Reuters the truck appeared to have driven out of control along a pavement for about 70 yards (metres) in the city centre shopping area, close to fairground attractions and an ice rink set up for the Christmas holiday.
