Police on sky news just said that the lorry ran someone over, then carried on and ran more people over further down the road.
Speculation now that the driver had been taken ill which is why he collided with the victims |

This police officer that is giving the information on BBC news looks very emotional and upset. Must be very difficult scenes for the emergency services to see.

Just interviewing some idiot on Sky News.
Reckons the lorry was going "70-100mph" and started going on about "could be terrorist incident". Then he seemed to get cut off somehow!!! ![]() http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ench-city.html |

Heartbreaking. Just watching on the news, a witness says it was travelling around 70 to 100mph.
There seems reports that the bin lorry driver suffered a heart attack? I hope he's all right. Well, actually, if he does survive his heart attack, he'll be devastated when he learns what happened. Poor sod. |

I think people forget that the police, paramedics , fire officers, etc., can get emotional too. They have to deal with horrific and tragic things on a daily basis, and remain professional but there are some incidents which are so upsetting that it is simply not possible to remain unaffected

Had a look on google maps. There's no way it could have went that far down a busy street without the driver being in control of it.

That's horrific. I feel so much for the injured and the families who lost their loved ones.

Poor sod. Such an awful tragedy, like you say, if he does survive this, what a devastating thing for him to live with. The whole thing is just heartbreaking, seems worse being just before Christmas too,those people buying last minute presents for their loved ones and just dying like that. |

it does indeed sound as if something happened to the driver and his foot just jammed on the accelerator

If the driver of the lorry hasnt died from the heart attack, someone will have to tell him when he comes round/gets better what happened. I wouldnt want to be the one to tell him.

Heart goes out to all people involved in this sad accident.
I do wish the sky reporters would back off a little. I understand they have a duty to report on such events. But their questioning of people who have told them they don't want to talk about then they carry on asking them questions. Their have been reports of them chasing down people with iphone cameras at the scene for questions. I think some of the questions are quite awful to ask and clearly some of these people are far to upset to really be giving interviews at this stage. Quote:

Just said on Clyde 1 that 6 people are confirmed dead. This is just terrible.

Was just coming on to say this. Absolutely shameful journalism, that one guy (see below) they questioned was utterly traumatised and made it clear they didn't want to talk about it.
It wouldn't have been the first time Glasgow had seen a terrorist attack involving a speeding vehicle, as well as a similar incident in France yesterday. So it's quite unfair to call him an idiot, especially given he was clearly shook up and had no desire to talk about it with the gutter press. Thoughts with everybody affected by this. So sad. |

A woman being interviewed on Clyde 1 there said she witnesses a baby in a buggy and two children being hit.
The reports are just getting worse and worse. |

Can a bin lorry even get to 70mph? Without sounding insensitive but i've been stuck behind a few which seem to never go above 40mph

It's possible that people may have initially assumed it was some sort of act of terror, particularly after what happened in Dijon just yesterday.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ench-city.html my first thoughts were it might be terrorist related As for some of the jokes made earlier cant say that's a sign of the times as we always get those sick jokes when things like this happen Such a shame my thoughts are with the familes of the victims |

After seeing the distance from where the first person was hit, I'm saying this was no accident.
