2014 Glasgow bin lorry crash
On 22 December 2014 a bin lorry collided with pedestrians in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland, killing six and injuring fifteen others. The driver of the council-owned vehicle, Harry Clarke, said he had passed out at the wheel. A similar blackout had happened to him in the driving seat of a bus, although he not disclosed the incident on his heavy goods vehicle licence renewal application, despite such self reporting being mandatory. Clarke was officially told he would not face further prosecution, effectively giving him immunity over the deaths and causing protests from victims' families at the way the case had been handled. In October 2015 it was reported that Clarke had been arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence the previous month.〔
==Incident==
The accident occurred in Queen Street at around 14:30 GMT.〔 The 26-tonne vehicle was being driven by 58-year-old Harry Clarke, with two crew members seated in the rear compartment, separated from the front by a railing. While travelling north, Clarke blacked out just after the traffic lights at the Gallery of Modern Art. After mounting the pavement the lorry travelled for 19 seconds, striking pedestrians, initially accelerating to 25mph before dropping to 19mph and 10mph as it struck walls and other street furniture. It came to rest part-way into an alley between the entrance to Glasgow Queen Street railway station and a hotel. The pedestrian collisions resulted in six deaths and a further 15 injuries. The six dead were a family of three from Dumbarton - an 18-year-old woman and her grandparents - and a 29-year-old woman from Glasgow, a 51-year-old woman from Glasgow and a 52-year-old woman originally from Edinburgh.〔
Rail services at the station continued and were accessed through alternative entrances in Dundas and North Hanover Streets.〔Glasgow evening Times, 22, December 2014 (From shock to respect: Glasgow mourns victims of bin lorry crash )〕
