M8 to Glasgow closure this morning - BobbyG

When I woke this morning about 7, the road reports were saying that part of the M8 was closed due to a couple of accidents. By the time I came to leave for work the M8 had been closed for 4 miles into Glasgow and several feeder roads were as well.

Turns out that there had been a vehicle (assuming a lorry or a tanker) has been leaking diesel the whole way. This resulted in several accidents and must have resembled an ice rink for motorcyclists especially.

Just heard on the news that the motorway is now reopened after the full length has been gritted and cleaned up and police are appealing for the owner of the leaking diesel vehicle to contact their local station!

Something tells me he won't and that there will now be lots of reviewing of CCTV tapes to establish the cause.!
