UPDATE: At least two hurt in multiple vehicle smash near Johnstone

A country road remained shut for four hours yesterday afternoon after four vehicles were involved in a collision.

At least two people were hurt and taken to hospital for checks and treatment for slight injuries.

A lorry, van and two other motors were caught up in the chaos on a tight bend.

It happened on a rural stretch of Auchenlodment Road near Johnstone at 3.25pm.

Ambulance staff called in police, including a traffic unit, and the road was sealed off.

Police say vehicles, including a tipper lorry and a van, were involved.

Pictures show the truck, owned by a civil engineering company, was in a collision with a Ford Transit, causing damage to the front.

A spokesman said: "There were no serious injuries, but some occupants were taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for a check-up.

"The road closure was kept in place for approximately four hours while the vehicles were removed."
