THREE people were taken to hospital after a five-car crash on a Scottish motorway.
Officers were called to the M74, between junctions 6 and 7, near Hamilton, around 3.25pm yesterday.
Five vehicles, including a white Peugeot Boxer van, a red Peugeot 107 car, a grey Mazda three, a black Mercedes-Benz C class car and a black Renault Clio collided.
As a result, the 19-year-old driver, 15-year-old passenger of the Peugeot car and a 65-year-old driver of the Mercedes were all taken to Wishaw General Hospital.
They have since been released.
A police cordon was erected as cops started the investigation and are encouraging any witnesses to get in touch.

Sergeant Gemma Blackadder said: “Our investigation is ongoing and I would urge anyone with information to come forward.
“We would be keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash, or who may have dashcam footage from the area to get in touch.
“You can call 101, quoting reference 2088 of 24 November.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
