Dramatic images have shown a car on fire on the busy M8 motorway as drivers face certain delays.
The M8 between junctions five and six at Shotts is currently experiencing huge tailbacks after a hatchback caught fire shortly before 10am on the eastbound carriageway.
The Daily Record report that emergency services raced to the scene and closed the trunk road, linking Glasgow to Edinburgh, for almost an hour whilst they tackled the blaze.
