The man, aged 36, was taken to the Western Infirmary. Appeal to driver
Det Insp Colin Hailstones, who is leading the inquiry, said: "This was a horrific incident. Sophie, her friend and her friend's uncle, had been out at the local shops when the incident happened.
"Sandbank Street and Maryhill Road are very busy and there were a lot of people about; many of whom tried to help at the scene.

The driver of the car was described as being white, aged 25-35, of, medium build and had short shaven hair. He was wearing a dark jacket, dark denim jeans and white trainers.
