Emergency services have rushed to a van on fire outside a First Bus depot in Glasgow.

Fire crews and police officers are in attendance after the van blaze on Cathcart Road, Glasgow at around 2pm.

All approach roads have now reopened at the junction of Cathcart Road at Caledonia Road.

A video sent to Glasgow Live shows black smoke billowing through the sky, and flames erupting from the car in the middle of the road.

Firefighters are operating high pressure hoses in an attempt to douse the fire, using water access points on the road, and Police Scotland officers also appear to be directing traffic near the incident.
