A crash on the M74 involving three cars and a lorry caused delays for rush hour commuters.

The collision happened between junctions 12 and 13 shortly before 7.15am on Thursday.

The M74 was shut northbound near Junction 13 at Abington while the vehicles were recovered.

Nobody is believed to have been injured in the collision, which created a long tailback.
