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.

Detective Sergeant Sean McLoughlin said: "We are continuing to investigate the circumstances around this incident.

"A family has lost a loved one and it's imperative we provide answers as to how that happened.

"If anyone has any information, who has not yet spoken to us, please do get in touch."

Road closures were put in place in Glasgow city centre following the incident.

Wellington Lane was taped off, as was a section of Wellington Street. Wellington Street - between Cadogan Street and Waterloo Street - reopened later in the evening.
