A woman has died after being struck by a car in an incident that sparked a multi-agency response and saw a Glasgow street being locked down by police.

Emergency crews were called to Wellington Lane at about 2.40pm on Tuesday following a report of a woman lying on the ground after being hit by a car.

The Scottish Ambulance Service dispatched an ambulance, paramedic response unit, and trauma team after the alarm was raised.

Police cars and fire engines were also spotted at the scene.

In an update on Wednesday, Police Scotland said the 40-year-old woman died and her family had been informed.

The force said inquiries so far have established the woman was dropped off in the street prior to being struck by the car.

A post-mortem examination is yet to be carried out, but officers are not treating the death as suspicious as the investigation continues.

Police reported that the driver of the car was uninjured.
