Crash: The taxi smashed into the window of BHS in Glasgow.


A taxi driver has been reported over alleged road traffic offences after his cab smashed into a department store.

The 54-year-old was not injured in the incident that saw his black Hackeny end up crashing into the window of BHS on the corner of Sauchiehall Street and Renfield Street.

The taxi ploughed into the store window after a collision involving a bus in Renfield Street at around 1.15pm.

A man and a woman were passengers in the cab at the time of the incident. The woman required treatment from paramedics at the scene for minor injuries.

A Strathclyde Police spokeswoman said: "A 54-year-old man has been reported to the procurator fiscal for alleged road traffic offences following the incident."

Police and ambulance were at the scene of the smash which occurred in one of Glasgow's busiest pedestrianised thoroughfares.

Allegedly,driver actually left the cab to go and remonstrate (punch lights out) with a bus driver
cab rolled away through the pedestrian precinct and into shop wall, with two punters still in it #-o
gentleman concerned does have a very short fuse. :sad:

I take it the driver didn't get a tip then?

Certainly seems consistent with the photo though, since perhaps more damage would have been evident if the driver had lost control while driving.
