Three hospitalised following five-car crash on M74

THREE people were taken to hospital after a five-car crash on a Scottish motorway.

Officers were called to the M74, between junctions 6 and 7, near Hamilton, around 3.25pm yesterday.

Five vehicles, including a white Peugeot Boxer van, a red Peugeot 107 car, a grey Mazda three, a black Mercedes-Benz C class car and a black Renault Clio collided.

As a result, the 19-year-old driver, 15-year-old passenger of the Peugeot car and a 65-year-old driver of the Mercedes were all taken to Wishaw General Hospital.

They have since been released.

A police cordon was erected as cops started the investigation and are encouraging any witnesses to get in touch.

Sergeant Gemma Blackadder said: “Our investigation is ongoing and I would urge anyone with information to come forward.

“We would be keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash, or who may have dashcam footage from the area to get in touch.

“You can call 101, quoting reference 2088 of 24 November.”
