A TEENAGE girl left a trail of destruction before being pulled uninjured from an upturned car, eyewitnesses said.

Three vehicles were written off during the incident, including two parked cars and an Audi said to have been driven by a 15-year-old.

Police initially told the Evening Times there was “no evidence of criminality” but have now confirmed a teenage girl has been reported to the children’s reporter.

Residents claim their street is being used as a “racetrack” and are now banding together to crack down on “terrifying” speeding.

Events came to a head for locals on Glencairn Drive following a three-car crash that caused shock in the community.

Two parked cars were written off in the incident while residents helped pull the driver free after her car landed on its roof.

Resident Katrina Brown said: “We have a lovely, mixed community here. It’s full of elderly people and people with young kids learning how to walk to school.

“That makes it all the more terrifying when you hear the accelerating cars outside.

“It’s not people doing 32 miles an hour - it’s serious speeds that make you step back on the pavement when you hear them coming.

“We have all been waiting with bated breath for someone to be injured.

“This accident felt so extreme that we wanted to come together and try to do something about the problem.”

On Sunday, October 28 around 6.45pm a number of local residents witnessed a crash on Glencairn Drive.

According to eye witnesses, one car was shunted six or seven feet along the pavement before the Audi flew over the top of a smaller, two-seater sports car and landed on its roof.

Owen Piper’s doctor wife Piegi Mackay and her sister, a nurse, ran out to help the driver.

Mr Piper said: “We had been watching the football and heard a very loud bang.

“Peigi, who is a doctor, and her sister, who is a nurse, went flying outside while I called 999.

“When it happened, my son was there and he hasn’t been sleeping well since. It’s definitely made him more anxious.

“The next day he was sent home from school.

“It is only by pure luck that no one was walking along the pavement and hit by a car.”

Mrs Brown added: “We were sure there was going to be a casualty because it seemed inconceivable that there wouldn’t be.”

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed officers had attended at the scene on the night in question.

Initially, the spokeswoman said there was “no evidence of criminality”.

However, this was later changed to: “A 15-year-old has been reported to the Children’s Reporter in connection with the incident.”

Fiona MacNeill’s sports car was one of two written off during the incident.

She said: “My car is not replaceable and I have had to pay £10,000 out of my own pocket to buy a new vehicle.

“It was a very difficult event. I was upset about my car and also very concerned about my neighbour, who had just lost her husband and was distressed at the scene in the street.

“For a number of years we have been concerned about the increase in speeding cars in the street so the one positive is the sense of community, coming together to look for solutions to this problem.”

George Boyle, whose car was also damaged, said: “We are fed up of being used as a thoroughfare for the go faster brigade.

“This has been a problem for years.”

Residents have now set up the Glencairn Drive Slow Campaign and intend to lobby Glasgow City Council and local politicians.

Local Mark Brand said: “There are so many creative and innovative ways to introduce anti-speeding measures in the area and it is time something was done.”
