Three people were taken to hospital following a crash involving a grey Skoda Octavia on the M8 motorway in Glasgow on Wednesday evening.

The incident occurred around 7.15pm on the westbound carriageway at Govan, near Junction 24 slip roads.

Emergency services promptly responded to the scene, and Police Scotland is now appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage to aid their investigation.

Severe M8 Disruption

The motorway was closed for several hours as emergency crews dealt with the incident, causing major traffic delays.

Traffic Scotland reported that police were managing traffic via the slip roads, but the full reopening of the motorway did not take place until 2.16am on Thursday.

Hospital Admissions

The driver, a 21-year-old man, and two female passengers aged 22 were taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.

A 26-year-old male passenger received treatment at the scene and was not hospitalised.

Police Appeal

Collision Sergeant Chris McColm from Traffic Scotland urged motorists who were on the M8 at the time of the crash to come forward with any information.

He said: “Our enquiries into the collision are ongoing and I am appealing to motorists who were driving on the M8 around the time of the incident to contact us with any information. If you have dash cam equipment, please pass on your footage as it could assist us in our enquiries.”

How To Help Police

Anyone with details or dashcam footage related to the incident is asked to contact Police Scotland. The appeal aims to support a thorough investigation into the events leading to the crash.
