The mother of one of the Glasgow bin lorry crash victims stormed out of court this morning as the driver repeatedly refused to answer questions.

Harry Clarke is giving evidence for the second day at a fatal accident inquiry into the deaths of six people three days before Christmas last year.

Mr Clarke refused to answer a number of questions about his medical history.

Previously, the inquiry has heard that Mr Clarke has a history of dizzy spells and fainting which he failed to disclose to the DVLA and on job application forms. During the fatal incident, he slumped at the wheel of the truck as he drove through the city centre, causing it to veer out of control.
