Drivers in one part of Lanarkshire experienced huge delays this morning thanks to a broken down lorry.
Those travelling on the A71 near Stonehouse, near to the Canderside Toll junction of the M74, were made to wait for over an hour to get through a part of the road which should take less than five minutes.
One commuter wrote on social media: “Took me over an hour to get out of Stonehouse!”
Another said: “Lorry has managed to move so it’s not blocking too much. Police are guiding you through.”
And one woman added: “Still slow getting through so add extra time for your journey.”
Police confirmed that the lorry has now been removed.
A force spokeswoman told us: “We received a report a lorry had broken down on the A71 near Stonehouse around 5.20am this morning (December 13).
“The lorry has been removed and the roadway is open.”
