The alarm was raised at around 1pm after officers received reports of a person being struck by an oncoming bus. The area is usually busy with vehicles with it being close to the A77 road and the M77 motorway[2].

Cops[3] have sealed off a section of the road, including the slip road to the A77 northbound. And they are urging the public to avoid the area and use an alternative route if possible.
