M90 closures after Storm Corrie 'blows lorry through motorway barrier'

A lorry crashed through a barrier on the M90 after being “blown off” the road.

Emergency services were alerted to the incident at the southbound carriageway of the Scotstoun junction at around 8.55pm on Sunday.

The crash has left only one lane open at junction one of the M90, with recovery put on hold until Monday due to high winds.

No one was injured as a result of the incident.

It comes after the Met Office issued yellow and amber weather warnings across the weekend, as Storm Malek swept across the country.
