A four-car crash, reported by Traffic Scotland at 7.50am on Monday, led to the closure of a lane on the M77 northbound where it meets the M8 towards Glasgow city centre.

The outside lane, between J1 Dumbreck Road and Plantation, was reopened by 8.15am however traffic has been held back to J4 Crookfur Road.
