A key South Lanarkshire road has fully reopened after being closed for around six hours following an earlier crash.
The A70 was shut between Millbank Roundabout and Hyndford Bridge on Monday afternoon after what South Lanarkshire Council described as an "accident".
The closure was first reported shortly before 4.30pm, with diversions put in place via the B7078 and A73.
Motorists faced disruption throughout the evening while the route remained closed.
However, an update issued by South Lanarkshire Council at around 10pm confirmed the road had reopened.
