TWO police officers have been raced to hospital after multi-vehicle crash on Glasgow’s busy M8 motorway.
After being called to a multi-vehicle incident in the east portion of the city, emergency personnel raced to Junction 13 (Provan Interchange) on the freeway.
On Wednesday, July 24, just after 1:00 pm, according to the police, they learnt of the occurrence.
The force has now disclosed that three motors were involved in the collision, one of which was a police vehicle.
Although four people—two of whom were on-duty police officers—have been brought to the hospital for treatment, emergency personnel are still on the scene.
The eastbound carriageway of the road is still closed as a result of the collision, according to Traffic Scotland.
Road users are asked to stay away from the area and there are minor diversions in place in the interim.
In pictures captured for The Glasgow Times and The National at the scene, multiple emergency crews – including police, fire, and ambulance teams – can be seen dealing with the crash.
On top of that, the three vehicles involved can be seen severely damaged.
Currently Police Scotland has not revealed the full nature of the incident and how on-duty officers were involved in it.
The Scottish Ambulance Service previously confirmed they were in attendance at the crash
