Six people have been killed and a number of others injured after an out-of-control bin lorry crashed into pedestrians in central Glasgow, the BBC reported.
The council vehicle then crashed into the Millennium Hotel, near Queen Street station in George Square.
Eyewitnesses described emergency services battling to save the lives of injured people on the street.
Police Scotland have declared a major incident but said there appeared to be nothing "sinister" about the crash.
Police said the bin lorry was traveling north on Queen Street, outside the Gallery of Modern Art, when "it was in a collision with a pedestrian".
