Celtic star Leigh Griffiths involved in three-car smash near his home in Lanarkshire

Celtic star Leigh Griffiths escaped injury after being involved in a three-car crash near his home.

The Hoops striker was caught up in the smash on the Belshill bypass in Lanarkshire last night.

His black Audi was involved in the roundabout crash with another two motors, it has been reported.

It is understood the crash happened when cars stopped to let an ambulance pass.

Nobody has been reported injured and the cars only suffered some minor damage to their bodywork, lights and bumpers, the Scottish Sun reports.

Griffiths came on as a sub for the Hoops on Saturday in their 2-0 Old Firm defeat to Rangers ahead of the crash.

A police spokesman told the Scottish Sun : "About 7.49pm on Sunday, 18 October, 2020 a three vehicle minor road traffic crash happened on the B7071 in Bothwell.

”There were no injuries and no further police action.”

An onlooker told the paper: “I recognised Griffiths’ black Audi and saw him at the side of it.

”It looked like everyone was OK but like anyone in that position, you are a bit shocked.

”It appeared the drivers were swapping details but that was about it.”
