A car has crashed into a parked ambulance - and caused it to smash into another - at Scotland's largest hospital.

It is understood there were patients on board both ambulances at the time, which were stationed at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

The crash, involving a black Audi, happened at about 07:15. The front of the car and passenger side of the ambulance were badly damaged.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Arrangements were made for the vehicles to be recovered."

Abdullah Al told BBC Scotland News that his father and siblings were in one of the ambulances when it was "hit at speed.

He said they were injured after being "rattled from one side" of the ambulance to the other.

"My father has been checked in to the hospital now, and thankfully is in a bit more of a stable condition," he added.

"My other siblings were in the ambulance too to accompany my father, they're all pretty shook up from the incident."
