WITNESSES told of their horror as a car described as playing "pinball" on the pavement rammed into a busy Glasgow city centre bakery.
Police are investigating the incident that left three women in hospital after the Toyota Yaris reversed into Greggs on Cambridge Street, just off Sauchiehall Street,
at 9am today.
Witnesses shouted "Get down" and "Get out of the way" just before the silver car ploughed into the shop, while another said the vehicle
looked like it was playing "pinball".
Margaret McClair, from Hamilton, was dropping her daughter off for work when she heard a bang and saw the car "on top of a woman".
The 57-year-old said:
"I heard a bang and my daughter turned around and the car was on top of the woman.
"The woman was halfway under the car. The car went flying forward and everyone was running like mad.
"There were quite a few people in the shop and they all seemed to scatter."
One injured woman was treated on the pavement ,while the driver of the car was being comforted by a worker from Greggs.
Andy Smeall, 24, from
Airdrie, said he looked out from a nearby building when he heard a noise.
He said: "The car reversed in a half circle straight through Greggs. A woman in Greggs was screaming."
Another man, who didn't give his name, was in the
baker's when the car hit and still had blood on his clothes.
He said: "I think it's someone else's blood. The place was packed - someone just said get down. I don't know what happened."
The three women were not thought to have serious
injuries but were being treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Another witness said the vehicle had reversed into a woman on the pavement, shattering a window of
the neighbouring former
Littlewoods store.
The car then went forward, then reversed again into the Greggs store front, showering the pavement with glass.
Four police vehicles, five ambulances and two fire engines attended the scene and a dozen officers interviewed witnesses while the street was sealed off.
Police were speaking to the 56-year-old female driver, who was not injured. No one else was in the car at the time.
