Woman injured by falling ceiling

-

A WOMAN in her 60s was rushed to hospital yesterday after part of the ceiling collapsed at a railway station.

The woman was hit by debris on the concourse of Glasgow Queen Street station shortly after 11am.

Trauma teams and paramedics raced to the scene.

A witness said: “Clearly someone was injured because they put up screens while they were treating her.

“To think something like that can happen at a major station is frightenin­g.”

It is thought the woman was hit by falling plasterboa­rd.

The station is being expanded and upgraded as part of the £742million Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvemen­t Programme to cater for growing passenger numbers.

The woman was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary with minor injuries.
