Glasgow bin lorry crash

[Absently]

Such a horrible tragedy yesterday I could hardly stop myself from crying whilst watching the news. So close to Christmas the poor things. My thoughts are with all those involved in the accident and their families.

The driver of a council bin lorry that killed six people in Glasgow city centre has left hospital.

The 57-year-old man had been treated at the city's Western Infirmary since the tragedy on Monday 22 December.

A 14-year-old girl, who was among 10 people injured in the tragedy, has also been discharged.

A 64-year-old woman remains in a stable condition at the city's Royal Infirmary. A police report into the crash is due out at the end of January.

Police investigation
Police Scotland said on Tuesday that officers investigating the crash would complete a formal private report by the end of the month.

Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said he expected the Crown Office to outline a timescale for any further investigation by the end of February.

It is for the Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland, to decide if a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) will be held.

There has been no suggestion at this stage of criminal charges against anyone involved in the accident.

My dad works for the council doing the bin lorries and stuff. He only took that week off because I was going up to visit him in Glasgow for Christmas which is a pretty horibble thought.

It's so, so tragic for it to have happened to close to Christmas. Where it happened is so full with flowers and respect. So sad.
