A pedestrian has died after being hit by a car following a trip to the shops.
Anne Carnochan, 62, was struck yesterday evening on the street where she lived in Glasgow's south side.
Police Scotland said Ms Carnochan was struck by a northbound Ford Focus as she crossed Clarkston Road, near to Merrylee Road.
She died at the scene of the crash, which happened in bad weather at around 6.40pm. The car driver was not injured.
Road policing officers in Glasgow are appealing for information about the fatal incident.
Constable Lindsay Coburn said: "The woman had been to the local shops and was crossing Clarkston Road when she was struck by the car.
"The weather was miserable last night, very, very wet, however, there were a number of people, both pedestrians and drivers, at the shops and on Clarkston Road so it is possible they saw the crash.
"There are also a number of flats that overlook the road so again, if you saw the crash, then please contact police on 101."
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
