AIBU to ask Weegiemum and the rest to check in please

[ASAS]

We've nothing on Local Talk yet so posting here for traffic.

My lot have only just finished our calls. It'll be a hectic night no doubt but if you can just give a nod here.

Can't believe this. My heart is breaking.

Xx

I was in my office five minutes from George Square when it happened, I had no idea until my auntie texted to ask if I was okay. It's just so awful.

Just horrific. Are you home now?

Not sure how many people know me here but this is a good idea. There's a thread in chat too. Heartbroken for our lovely city but especially those families

What? What happened? Had something happened in Glasgow?

A bin lorry collided with some shoppers in Glasgow with at least 6 dead

It's Suspected the driver had a heart attack at the wheel tragic accident all round

Off to phone some friends

Yes also check on your family and friends if you're further afield. There's so little news atm.

Also post if you need anything logistical.

We left the office 20 minutes early as there was only two of us in and my colleague wasn't sure how busy the roads would be. She dropped me at the station and I got home on the train with no issues.

Have a good night MrsB

Fret fret fret.

What a horrible thing

My husband walked past where the bin lorry crashed about 20mins before it happened as he was on his way back to his office after doing some last minute Christmas shopping. Makes you think. Prayers for all involved

We're fine here - very glad that my girls decided not to go into town today, though.

Just such a ghastly thing to happen in one of the best places I know :(

Desperate desperate x

So sorry to see this on the news. Such an awful thing to happen.

Relieved to hear from our Mumsnetters though.

My DH was in Glasgow this afternoon finishing off the shopping. My heart stood still when I heard about this. He's thankfully safe and well though. My thoughts are with the families.

Was there yesterday

I had the day off, also work close by GS. I'm on the other thread, but just to say hope everyone has their family and friends home safe.

DH and DD2 were both in the vicinity as l was at work. luckily l knew nothing about it until until DH text to say they were both safe.
So close to the Clutha bar and the anniversary of that disaster-- another horrific event so close to Christmas
My heart goes out to all the families involved and the poor driver of that bin lorry

What a horrible thing to happen. Prayers for all involved, including the poor driver :((

Had a horrible few minutes earlier as I got a message from my sons girlfriends Mum messaged me saying she couldn't get a hold of them...I dudnt even know they had went to George Square but thankfully they are fine.

I got into queen st 4mins after it happened i go out the george square entrance each time i come to glasgow. Scary stuff. My deepest condolences to the families affected x

I used to work inthe street the truck went along. So sad and awful.
