MORNING rush-hour motorists on the M74 are experiencing tailbacks of almost three miles after an earlier multi-car crash.

Traffic Scotland warned its Twitter followers at around 7.30am: “#M74 northbound J3A Daldowie - a multivehicle RTC is blocking lane 3 of 3. Police and TRISS en route.

“Traffic having to merge in to other lanes causing queuing back to J4 Maryville.”

Now, the team is warning of huge tailbacks.
