Three children and a woman in her 20s have been taken to hospital after they were hit by a car in South Lanarkshire.

Emergency services responded shortly after 3pm to the incident in Carluke.

Inspector William Broatch, from Motherwell Road Policing Unit, said: “Around 3.10pm, police were called to James Street in Carluke, at the junction with Kirkton Street, following a report of a road crash involving a car and four pedestrians – a woman and three children.

“The pedestrians are all being conveyed to hospital for treatment.”

The extent of their injuries are unknown at this time.

Police said emergency services remain at the scene and local diversions are in place.
