A 24-year-old woman who was hit by a car in the west end of Glasgow has died.

The student was struck on University Avenue by a Ford Fiesta being driven by a 42-year-old man at about 17:25 on Tuesday.

She was being treated for a head injury at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but died on Thursday.

Police, who renewed an appeal for witnesses, said a full report would be forwarded to the procurator fiscal.
