Three people were rushed to hospital following a two-car collision on a Renfrewshire road.
A Ford Fiesta and a Seat Leon crashed on Tuesday afternoon shortly after 4.30pm, resulting in the B775 Gleniffer Road being closed for around eight hours.
The driver and passenger of the Fiesta were rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow while the Seat Leon driver was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley for treatment.
The condition of each individual at this time is unknown.
An eyewitness told the Paisley Daily Express: “There was a two-car crash near to Lapwing Lodge up the Braes. The road was swamped with emergency services.
“There were four ambulances, multiple police vehicles and a fire engine all there. Several cars had stopped at the crash but I don’t think they were involved.
“It looked horrendous. One of the cars had ended up in the field. The ambulance took people away with the blue lights flashing.
“It’s a terrible road and especially in the hot weather when the sun is glaring. The road was closed overnight with what looked like forensic police officers at the scene.”
Police confirmed three people were taken to hospital as a result of the crash and stated that enquiries are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 4.35pm on Tuesday, June 13, police were called to a two-vehicle road crash, involving a Ford Fiesta and Seat Leon, on the B775, Gleniffer Road, on the border between Barrhead and Paisley.
“Two people, the driver and a passenger from the Ford Fiesta, were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment. The driver of the Seat Leon was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley for treatment.
“The road was closed for around eight hours and reopened around 12.30am on Wednesday, June 14. Enquiries into the cause of the crash are continuing.”
