Traffic on a popular motorway has been brought to a standstill due to an overturned lorry.
The southbound lanes of the M74 are shut between junctions 10 and 11 in Lanarkshire, after emergency services were called to the incident after 1.30pm.
Drivers are being diverted from the motorway at junction nine, as Traffic Scotland warned of 25 minute-long queues.
There is no information on any injuries.
Images shared on social media showed the lorry on its side.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were made aware of an overturned lorry on the M74 southbound between junctions 10 and 11 shortly after 1.30pm on Tuesday, 5 April.
"Emergency services are currently at the scene and the road is currently blocked."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
