A TEENAGER died yesterday when he fell from a bus emergency exit after a night out.
Josh Lincoln, 19, plunged from the vehicle in Glasgow city centre while trying to use the escape to get off.
He suffered serious head injuries and died at the scene.
Josh, from Castlemilk in the south side of Glasgow, had been on a night out with Kerry Ferguson, his girlfriend of five weeks.
She wrote on Facebook: “Woke up thinking and hoping it was just all one big nasty dream.
“Sadly I’ve woken up and the pain’s still here, my Josh is actually dead.
“You made me feel the happiest I’ve felt in such a long time.
“You not only treated me like a princess but actually made me feel like one too.
“Had such a wee heart of gold, always putting other people’s happiness before your own.
“Would do anything in this earth just to see your wee face and gorgeous smile again.

  “My baby boy. I just want you back.”
The couple were at ­Glasgow’s Tingle Bar at 6.30pm on Saturday when Josh posted a message on Facebook, saying: “Never taking that f****** shot again.”
They got on the bus at Stockwell Street shortly after midnight and as the vehicle approached Gorbals Street, Josh pushed the emergency exit to get out.
Police Scotland said: “At around 12.25am on Sunday morning, he got on to a bus at Stockwell Street.
“As it approached the bridge, he tried to get off the bus but couldn’t due to traffic on the road.
“He went to the back of the bus and approached the emergency exit on the lower level.
“He fell from the exit and sustained serious head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Inquiries are ongoing and a post-mortem will take place.”
