The driver of the bin lorry that crashed in Glasgow killing six people will continue giving evidence at an inquiry into the tragedy.

Harry Clarke, 58, is the last remaining witness to be called before the fatal accident inquiry which is now in its fifth week.

He was behind the wheel of the truck when it veered out of control in the city centre three days before Christmas.

Yesterday, Mr Clarke gave an account of the day of the accident describing the moment he blacked out.

He said: ''Everything was okay, I saw the Christmas lights in the distance, and the next minute ... it was like a light switch.''
