Reports are coming in this evening, Sunday 16th February 2025 of a serious multi vehicle acciden on the southbound M74 near Stratchlyde Park.
As of 7.30pm, the motorway is down from 4 to 2 lanes and there’s a significant police presence with vehicles lining the side of the road, including a the presence of a police helicopter.
Posting here for driver awareness as traffic is slower tonight than usual forming queues. The road however is still passable and open again after the Hamilton turnoff.
One resident who was walking his dog told Lanarkshire Telegraph, “I was driving down to Strathclyde park to walk the dog and seen a police car on the shoulder, parked up and went for a walk, came back to 7 emergency vehicles across all the departments on the shoulder and the helicopter overhead searching with the large beam on.”
“Looks like a 5 vehicle smash. There were several vehicles all with bent panels, smashed windows and airbags deployed.”
Emergency services are in attendance. We hope everybody involved is ok.
