Five people, including two children, were taken to hospital following a 15-vehicle collision on the M73 motorway near Gartcosh, North Lanarkshire. The incident occurred just before 11.30pm on Sunday at Junction 2A (Gartcosh Interchange).
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent three fire engines and a heavy rescue unit, while the Scottish Ambulance Service dispatched six ambulances and two special operations response teams. Two casualties were taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, two to the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, and one to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Three others were treated at the scene and discharged.
The northbound carriageway was closed between Junction 2 (Baillieston Interchange) and Junction 2A (Mollinsburn Interchange) during the emergency response. Vehicles were cleared by around 3am on Monday, and the road reopened shortly before 4am after a sweeper dealt with debris.
Amey SW Trunk Roads confirmed the incident as a "15-vehicle RTC" and advised motorists to avoid the area. The condition of those hospitalised remains unknown. Police Scotland has been approached for comment.
