An arrest has been made following the three-vehicle crash on the M8 which wreaked travel chaos in Glasgow this afternoon.
Emergency services raced to the scene on the westbound carriageway near junction 13 at around 11.50am on Friday, January 21.
The motorway was quickly closed in both directions following the incident - which involved a car, a van and a lorry.
Shocking pictures from the scene showed a lorry after it appeared to have jackknifed and crashed into a central reservation amid the collision.
Officers have now confirmed the 51-year-old male driver of the lorry was taken to hospital. He has since been discharged.
The 33-year-old female driver of the car was also taken to hospital. Police say her injuries are not believed to be serious.
The 25-year-old male driver of the van was uninjured but has been arrested in connection with suspected road traffic offences.
Officers say their enquiries are ongoing and the westbound carriageway on the M8 remains closed.
