Glasgow drivers warned of 70-minute delays after 'huge' crash blocks A82 at Bowling

Drivers heading towards Glasgow on the A82 are being warned of delays of over an hour due to a crash.

The A82 is currently blocked eastbound near Bowling due to the collision - reportedly between a lorry and a bus - which took place at around 3:40pm this afternoon.

Police have confirmed emergency services have joined officers in attendance at the scene.

Congestion is being reported back to the A812 Renton Road and A814 Glasgow Road in Dumbarton, with Traffic Scotland reporting 70 minute delays due a combination of the current roadworks in the area and the collision.
