Man, 64, in "critical condition" following horror crash with bus
The driver of the red Honda was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow following the incident. A 64-year-old man is in a 'critical condition' following a road crash between a bus and a car in Renfrewshire. Emergency services raced to Main Road in Elderslie around 1.55pm on Tuesday afternoon following the collision that involved a red Honda Civic and a McGill's bus. The driver of the car, a 64-year-old male, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment and police have now confirmed his condition as critical. A 51-year-old female who was a passenger in the car was also taken to hospital to be checked over. The road was closed between the junction for Glenpatrick Road and the roundabout for Linwood Road and the A761 for several hours. The roundabout itself was not closed. A witness at the scene told the Paisley Daily Express: 'Even two hours after the crash, it looked quite serious. Police were putting up more tape to extend the cordon. 'We could see paramedics and police treating a person at the side of the road. They looked quite shaken up. There were lots of police cars and emergency services. It's such a busy road at the best of times and it was shut both ways. 'It was causing absolute chaos, people were doing three-point-turns and going back the direction they came as they were getting fed up waiting in the delays. It looked like a bad one – the car had suffered more damage than the bus.' The 54-year-old male driver of the bus and the passengers on board were uninjured in the incident. Police confirmed the road was reopened shortly before 8pm. Officers are continuing to review CCTV footage from the area for further information on the collision and are now appealing for witnesses. Constable Ian Brown from road policing said: 'I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time to contact us. Some of the bus passengers had left the scene before we arrived and I would ask them to please get in touch. "It's vital we have as much information as possible as we work to establish the full circumstances of the crash.' A spokesperson for McGill's Group added: 'We can confirm that one of our vehicles was involved in an incident on Tuesday afternoon in Elderslie, when a car collided with the bus as it was pulling into a stop. 'No passengers or the driver of the bus were injured.' Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1797 of Tuesday, July 15.
