A 65-year-old man has died after his car collided with several vehicles before hitting the central reservation on the M74 in Glasgow.

The man was driving a Porsche Boxster on the southbound carriageway at about 18:00 on Sunday when the incident happened at junction 2 near Rutherglen. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 45-year-old woman who was driving a Nissan Leaf and 42-year-old woman who was driving a BMW 2 series were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
