A lorry overturned on the M74 this morning shedding its load of onions over the motorway.
Two northbound lanes of the M74 were closed for hours following the accident in the early hours of the morning, resulting in significant delays for rush hour traffic.
Pictures show the lorry having been moved to the hard shoulder and bags of onions strewn over the embankment.
