TRAFFIC is slower than usual on the M8 due to a road traffic accident on the Kingston Bridge.

Traffic Scotland shows the motorway grinding to a halt following a multiple vehicle collision.

Lanes one and three eastbound on the Kingston Bridge are blocked by the accident, and police are en route to the scene.

This means traffic is heavier than usual over the bridge - and motorists are being advised to avoid the route if possible.
