Teen victim of bin lorry accident goes home

A TEENAGER injured in the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy has been released from hospital.

The 18-year-old, believed to be Irene McAuley, is understood to have suffered facial injuries in the crash days before Christmas.

Yesterday, a photograph of the young woman and her family at her hospital bedside appeared on social media sites used by her brothers Kyran and Daniel.

The picture is thought to have been taken on Christmas Day in Glasgow Royal Infirmary as she recovered from the George Square crash.

Six people died and ten others were injured after the lorry went out of control on December 22.

The picture shows the student with her mother Florence, sister Shannon and brothers Kyran, Daniel and Anton.

Kyran tweeted: ‘The events of George Square have brought our family together. We pray for those it has torn apart.’

A 14-year-old girl and a woman aged 64 remain in a stable condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

A 57-year-old man, understood to be the lorry driver, is stable at the city’s Western Infirmary.

The funerals of Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents, Jack Sweeney, 68, and Lorraine, 69, all from Dumbarton, will be held on Saturday at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Dumbarton, when Archbishop Philip Tartaglia is scheduled to celebrate the funeral Mass.
