A man has been seriously hurt after an incident with a road sweeper in Cumbernauld.

He was driving his grey Vauxhall Grandland along Mollins Road at around 1.50pm on Wednesday, September 25 when it collided with the Scania XT sweeper.

Emergency services crews were blue-lighted to the scene and the 26-year-old was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to be treated.
