The adopted son of Stagecoach tycoon Ann Gloag is in intensive care in an African hospital after a car crash.

Peter Gloag, 24, was injured in a road accident on Sunday and Mrs Gloag has flown to be at his bedside.

Mrs Gloag found Peter sleeping among rubbish in Kenya when he was 10-years-old and adopted him, bringing him to Scotland in 1995.

Her ex-husband Robin Gloag, 64, died in a car crash in 2007 and their son Jonathan committed suicide in 1999.

Jack Irvine, spokesman for Mrs Gloag, said: "We can confirm that Peter Gloag was involved in a car crash on Sunday and is now in intensive care.

"Mrs Gloag has flown to Kenya to be with him."

After coming to Scotland, Peter Gloag attended Morrisons Academy in Perthshire and then Dundee High School before going on to study at Napier University in Edinburgh.

Mrs Gloag is the co-founder of transport giant Stagecoach, which she set up with her brother Brian Souter in 1980, and is one of the richest women in Scotland.

She was also awarded an OBE in 2004 for her services to charity.
