Glasgow Bin Lorry Crash: Panic Inside The Cab

Frantic attempts were made to stop a Glasgow bin lorry as it killed six people last December, Sky News has learned.

Two men were inside the cab with the driver at the time, desperately trying to rouse him after he had collapsed.

The pair, who Sky News has chosen not to name, shouted to him that he was killing people and shook him.

But their efforts were hampered by a metal rail inside the cab, which separates the driver and the crew, who sit on a raised bench in the rear.

It presented an obstacle and inflicted injuries on at least one of the pair as they were jostled by the erratic movement of the vehicle.

A succession of collisions meant the driver's weight shifted on the steering wheel which, in turn, caused sudden changes in the lorry's course.

There was an air-brake in the cab which slowly reduces speed but neither of the two crew was trained in how to drive the bin lorry and so neither knew how to bring it to a halt.

The vehicle only came to rest after crashing into the Millennium Hotel in Glasgow's George Square.

The two crew members first realised something was wrong after they had stopped to make the penultimate pick-up of their round outside the Primark store in Queen Street.
