Woman hurt in smash

A woman was rushed to hospital after a crash at a busy Paisley junction.

Two cars collided at the junction between Mill Street and Glasgow Road at around 2.45pm yesterday afternoon.

The incident involved a red Ford Fiesta and a silver Vauxhall Corsa.

“We dispatched one ambulance to the scene.

“One female was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital.”
