A biker was seriously injured last night after colliding with a bin lorry.

The accident happened at a roundabout on Linthaugh Road, Pollok, Glasgow , near Silverburn shopping centre at 4pm on Saturday.

Police cordoned off the accident area while police conducted inquiries.

The Glasgow City Council bin lorry and the accident victim’s motorcycle were still at the site.

The man, who has not been named, was treated by an off-duty nurse who witnessed the collision.

It’s understood he was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital .

A council spokesman said last night that a full investigation would follow.

He said: “It’s still very much a police matter at this stage and the council will fully co-operate and provide all the help and information it can.

“There will also be a full investigation into the accident.”

Witness Margaret Donnelly, 42, said: “A nurse, still wearing her uniform, stopped her car and went to help the driver of the motorcycle and gave him first aid until the ambulance arrived.”

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “We are unaware of the man’s condition at this time.”
