Police, Firefighters Close Major Roads in Glasgow, Edinburgh Amid Emergency Incidents

Two major incidents have caused significant disruptions in Scotland this week. In Glasgow's Southside, a woman was hit by a bus on Barrhead Road, leading to a road closure and traffic congestion with police directing traffic and urging drivers to take alternative routes; her condition remains unknown. Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, firefighters responded to a suspected chimney fire at a tenement building on Gorgie Road, which houses Bibi's eatery, deploying three fire engines and a height appliance to the scene. The road was closed, and several Lothian Buses services (1, 2, 3, 25, and 33) were diverted via alternate routes until further notice. No injuries have been reported in the Edinburgh incident, but the cause of the fire remains unclear. Both incidents have had a notable impact on local travel and public transport services.
