Five-year-old boy dies after being hit by van in Glasgow
A five-year-old boy has died after being hit by a van in
Glasgow.
The accident happened at about 3.15pm on Monday at Dalness Street, Shettleston, in the east end of the city.
The boy was “seriously injured” after being struck by a white Ford Transit van.
He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University hospital where he died a short time later.
Sgt Jackie Dunbar said: “From our inquiries so far, it would appear that the boy, a pupil at St Paul’s (Shettleston) primary school on Anwoth Street, Glasgow, was struck by the van, which had come into Dalness Street from Tollcross Road, as it turned into a car park on Dalness Street.
“It was picking-up time at the school and there were a number of people in the area at the time of the incident.
“I would ask anyone who saw what happened, and who has not already been spoken to by police, to contact officers.”
Dalness Street was closed at Dalness Close to allow officers to carry out their investigations with local diversions in place.
