A schoolboy is fighting for his life after being struck by a car in Glasgow.
The 13-year-old was hit by a red Toyota Aygo in the city’s Balmore Road at around 5.55pm on Wednesday.
The teenager was taken by ambulance to the Royal Hospital for Children, where he remains in a critical condition.
The road was closed for around four hours between Skirsa Street and Ashgill Road to allow for investigation works. It eventually reopened at around 10.05pm.

Sergeant Nicholas Twigg said: “We are appealing for anyone who was in the area around this time and who witnessed the crash to contact us.
“We are particularly keen to hear from the driver of a white lorry who we believe was in the area around the time of the incident and may be able to assist us.
“I would also ask anyone who was on the road at the time and who may have dashcam footage to get in touch.”
