PEDESTRIANS were forced to flee to safety yesterday after a car ploughed into two shops in Glasgow city centre at about 9am yesterday.
Three women were injured when the Toyota Yaris crashed into the side of the Littlewoods store in Cambridge Street.

Witnesses said the vehicle then reversed in a semicircle into the Greggs bakery shop next door.

The car came to rest at the front doorway of Greggs, its front pointing outwards. The entire glass panel at the front of the shop had been smashed and part of the frame damaged.

The women were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, but their injuries were not thought to be serious.

Police were speaking to the 56-year-old female driver of the car, who was not injured. No-one else was in the car at the time.

Correct R chee. I am convinced that an oppertunist, was seen making off with a tray of half cooked steak bakes and his pockets stuffed with fudge donuts.
Witnesses said the male 6'2", estimated to be at least 17 stones, with blonde hair, was seen loitering around the premesis before the authorities arrived. "The big man was lookin' awfy hungry", remarked one malnourished weedgie onlooker. " He just couldn't contain his desire for the delicious pastry based tit bits" said another.
Police are following up leads from witnesses that point to a black Mercedes heading along the M8.
