THREE people are in hospital following a crash on the M8 motorway, which left part of the busy road closed in Glasgow.

Police were called to the scene near Govan at around 7.15pm on Wednesday after a grey Skoda Octavia travelling on the westbound carriageway of the M8 appeared to lose control and crashed into the barrier between Junction 24 off-slip and Junction 24 on-slip.

Emergency services attended to the 21-year-old male driver and two female passengers, both aged 22, at the scene, with all three later taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

A 26-year-old male passenger was assessed at the scene.

Sergeant Chris McColm said: “Our enquiries into the collision are ongoing and I am appealing to motorists who were driving on the M8 around the time of the incident to contact us with any information.

“If you have dash cam equipment, please pass on your footage as it could assist us in our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3193 of Wednesday, 17 June, 2026.
