A MAN was taken to hospital after a car flipped on to its roof at a roundabout in the city’s West End.
Fire crews, police and ambulance were called to the Thornwood roundabout near Broomhill Drive at Dumbarton Road in Partick just after 11.30am yesterday.
A man trapped inside the vehicle was rescued and taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
His condition is unknown.
Traffic in the area came to a standstill while emergency service crews worked on the rescue.
Police diversions were also in place on the road, with three appliances sent to the scene.
AGLASGOW Tory General Election candidate has been suspended by the party.
The Scottish Tories suspended Flora Scarabello yesterday pending an internal investigation into allegations of “anti-Muslim language”.
Ms Scarabello, candidate for Glasgow Central, will have all support for her campaign withdrawn by the party.
The Tories said the suspension follows the submission of a complaint to the party’s central office about the alleged use of anti-Muslim language.
No further details of the complaint or the exact language used by Ms Scarabello were revealed.
It said while the party investigates that complaint, Ms Scarabello will have her membership suspended.
However, the deadline for removing her as a candidate has passed, meaning there is no option but for her name to still appear on the ballot paper.
A spokesman for the Scottish Tories said: “We take allegations like this extremely seriously.
“There is no place in the
Scottish Conservatives for anti-Muslim language, or any other form of racial or religious discrimination.
“As such, we have immediately suspended the candidate and the complaint will be thoroughly investigated.”
It is the second Tory suspension after Ryan Houghton in Aberdeen North was removed following comments about the holocaust.
Earlier during the Tory leadership campaign in the summer Ms Scarabello had asked Boris Johnson at a hustings event if the Prime Minister should be a “loyal husband and father”.
Ms Scarabello was standing in Glasgow Central where the Conservatives were third in 2017 but with just 13.9% of the vote.
