Glasgow M8 crash: Hearse driver among injured after three-vehicle collision

A hearse driver has been rushed to hospital after being involved in a three-vehicle crash on the M8.

A Mini, a hearse, and a Peugeot van were involved in a collision around 9.50am this morning.

Emergency services were called to the scene and two male drivers of the hearse and the van driver were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment. The female driver of the Mini was uninjured.

The road, just after the Kingston Bridge, was reduced to one lane to allow investigators to carry out inquiries but has since reopened.

The hearse driver was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Around 9.50 am on Tuesday, February 1, police were called to a three-vehicle road crash eastbound on the M8 after the Kingston Bridge.

"The road is down to one lane to allow officers to carry out their enquiries."
