An elderly man has died following a road collision in Glasgow.

Police are appealing for witnesses following the incident in Ibrox.

At around 9:20pm on Wednesday 19 April 2017, 79 year-old David Spence was crossing Paisley Road West when it appears he fell on to the road and was then struck by a silver Nissan Note.

He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he died a short time later.
