Three Dead After Car Crashes Into House
Three men have died after the car they were in ploughed into the front of a house in Hamilton, Lanarkshire on Saturday night.
The men have been named as Derek Campbell, 19 and Andrew Morrison, from the area, and 35-year-old Anthony Steward from East Kilbride. They died at the scene.
The occupants of the semi-detached property - a couple and their daughter - escaped injury, despite the impact of the Ford Mondeo car in the front wall of the Dalton Hill home.
However, the house has to be demolished after it was declared unsafe.
Ch Insp Jim Igoe of Strathclyde Police said Robert and Margaret Gordon, and their daughter, aged 20, had been very lucky to escape uninjured.
"An absolutely horrendous road crash occurred on the Earnock Road in Hamilton," he said.
"A silver Ford Mondeo was being driven from the East Kilbride area. The vehicle was coming round a right-hand bend and the driver lost control.
"The vehicle struck the house and has taken a substantial portion of the house down. The three occupants had an extremely lucky escape."
