It's tragic isn't it.

You simply go out Xmas shopping and you don't come home.

I know it is being perceived the driver may have had a heart attack.

So many injuries also. Terrible. sad

Heard about this from Facebook friend in Glasgow. It is tragic, particularly at this time of year.

It makes the very quiet and rather lonely Christmas DH and I are anticipating totally in perspective. Sympathy to all concerned.

Just too terrible.

Sadly the BBC Newsis saying 7 injured and police not giving a figure for those poor people who have been killed. I cannot imagine how one copes after something like this.

I dont think that they will be able to cope. It will be a matter of getting through.

Those poor families especially at this time of the year.My heart goes out to them.Life can be so cruel.

So reassuring and so sad too. George Square is usually the centre of Glasgow's seasonal celebrations.
