Horrified witnesses have been telling of the moment a bin lorry careered along a Glasgow street, fatally crashing into pedestrians.
At least six people died in the tragedy in George Square in the centre of the city.
One woman, Melanie Greig, told Sky News of "the noise, the bangs and the screams".
She said the lorry "lost control" and was "knocking everyone like pinballs" as it travelled along the pavement.
She said: "It continued knocking people down until it ended up in the building. Quite horrific. Very scary."
The vehicle stopped when it struck the Millennium Hotel after travelling on the pavement for what was thought to be about 300 metres.
Ms Greig went on: "When something is coming up behind them like that, how can they run out of the way?"
She also said there was a baby in a buggy. "There were actually two little kids. It was just horrific."
David Lyon escaped being hit by seconds, saying he moved out of the way, trying to save his girlfriend.
"It makes you appreciate life," he said.
Mr Lyon said: "I quite literally moved out the way of a moving truck. I feel quite lucky to be alive.
"l moved out of the way as it was crashing into people. It's traumatic. It was quite chaotic. Everybody was in a panic. It was really disturbing."
And another man, who said the lorry was travelling at speed, said: "It was very traumatic for a lot of people."
Shopper Lauren Gilmore was nearby when the incident happened.
