Two people were hospitalised earlier this afternoon following a high speed police chase in the east end of the city.
We reported earlier how a stretch of Dalmarnock Road was closed to traffic following a crash on Dalmarnock Road, leading to congestion on surrounding streets as a result of diverting traffic.
And now Police have confirmed that the crash was the result of a short pursuit after having responded to reports of suspicious activity involving a vehicle in Glasgow city centre.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Around 1.55pm on Friday, January 10, police were responding to reports of suspicious activity in the city centre of Glasgow.
"A short time later, police traced a blue van believed to be connected in the east of the city. The van failed to stop and a short pursuit occurred.
"The van then crashed into three vehicles on the Clyde Gateway. Emergency services attended and a number of people were checked over for minor injuries. Two people went to hospital of their own accord as a precaution. The road is due to be cleared.
"Three male teenagers have been arrested in connection.
"Enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident are ongoing."
