A 57-year-old man has been charged after a double-decker bus crashed into a railway bridge in Glasgow city centre.

Eight people were injured, including one seriously, when the bus roof was torn off on 14 December last year.

The First Bus vehicle became wedged under the bridge on Cook Street at the junction with Commerce Street.

Police Scotland said the arrested man had been charged in connection with road traffic offences.

He has been released on an undertaking and will appear in court at a later date.

In May 2023, 10 people were taken to hospital after a bus crashed into the same railway bridge.
