Part of major motorway BLOCKED due to emergency incident

Traffic Scotland[1] has said lanes one and two of the southbound carriageway of the M74 at Junction 2 are currently shut due to a vehicle smash. A picture from the scene shows an Ambulance has blocked the lanes while it appears the accident has involved two motors. Police are currently en route to the incident.

However, the road firm has said traffic in the area is building up ‘already’. It is unclear if anyone has been injured in the crash. Police Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service have been contacted for comment.
