The injured man was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where hospital staff describe his condition as serious.

Police enquiries are continuing to trace the car and its driver. The vehicle is thought to be a black or dark-coloured 2018 Seat Ibiza. It is likely to have damage to its front driver’s side wing, headlight and bumper. The driver side wing mirror came off during the collision.

Sergeant Kenneth Canavan, Greater Glasgow Road Policing Unit, said: “Nitshill road at Darnley Mains Road is a busy junction for both traffic and pedestrians.

“I would appeal to anyone who saw the crash happen, or has dashcam footage, to come forward.
