An 83-year-old cyclist is in a critical condition in hospital following a collision with a car.
The cyclist and a grey Citroen C1 collided as they both travelled north on Cumbernauld Road, Glasgow, on the slip road where the A752 and the A80 merge, on Thursday morning.
The 83-year-old woman was taken by ambulance to the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with a serious head injury.
The 31-year-old woman driving the Citroen was not injured.
The road was closed following the crash, which happened at around 8.05am, and reopened just before 2pm.
Police appealed for information about the incident.
Sergeant Craig McDonald said: "Whilst one or two motorists stopped to assist following the crash, we are still keen to speak to anyone who saw the collision take place.
"If you have any information that will assist officers with their investigation, then please contact the road policing unit in Motherwell via 101 quoting reference number 0740 of August 10 2017."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
