BEER, flour and fuel spillages caused travel chaos on Thursday after three goods lorries crashed on the M74.

A tanker carrying diesel collided with a lorry carrying flour and another lorry with beer on board at around 6am.

The crash happened on the M74 South Lanarkshire northbound between junction 13 at Abington services and junction 12 at Millbank.

Police closed one lane at 6.15am as a clean up got under way.

A diversion was put in place via the junction 13 slip road and rejoined the motorway at junction 10.

Motorists were faced with delays as queues formed in the diversion route.

There were no injuries in the collision.
