A worker has died in hospital after he was reportedly struck by two buses at a depot.

The bus driver was left fighting for his life following the incident at the McGill's yard on Cochranemill Road in Johnstone.

STV understands the 43-year-old was lying injured after being struck by a bus after finishing his shift on Thursday night before being hit by another one.

Police were called to the scene at 12.50am on Friday morning and he was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he later died.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) have been informed.

Family friend Iwona Majzuk described the man's death as "a tragedy".

She told STV News: "For us this is a very big tragedy because we lost a friend and my very good friend who I met 45 years ago, she lost a husband and her daughter lost a dad.

"We need to know how long our friend was left without any support after the accident, and why no-one discovered the accident earlier, this is absolutely horrible, we cannot believe, how could it be like that?

"This is my appeal to people, to good people, please do everything possible, as soon as is possible because we need to have more information and the truth and we are waiting for that."

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "At around 12.50am, police were called to a 43-year-old man being seriously injured at Cochranemill Road yard.

"He was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition and died a short time later.

"Enquiries are ongoing at this time."

A HSE spokesperson said: "HSE is aware of the incident and making initial enquiries.

"We cannot comment further at this time."
