MULTIPLE accidents have caused chaos for rush hour motorists in Glasgow.

A handful of crashes were reported this evening and, despite having been cleared, Traffic Scotland have warned traffic is still heavily congested on the M8.

Eastbound queues stretch from junction 27 at Paisley to junction 18 at Charing Cross, while westbound traffic is slow between junction 15 at the Royal Infirmary and junction 26 at Hillington.

The issues are a result of crashes across the busy motorway. 

An accident at 4.40pm left the offside lane partially blocked on the run up to the junction 20 Kingston Bridge eastbound. 

 While, five minutes later TRISS was called out to tackle a crash at junction 19 Anderston eastbound, which left the second lane partially blocked. 

The incident resulted in traffic queuing back to junction 22 Kinning Park

 A smash involving a HGV blocked lane one of four at junction 23 Dumbreck eastbound, close to Govan and Ibrox. 

Drivers have been warned to expect delays.
