Busy Glasgow road closed after crash as drivers warned to avoid area

Police closed a busy Glasgow road on Tuesday morning after a one-vehicle crash and warned motorists to avoid the area.

Springburn Road was shut between Keppochhill Road and Hawthorn Street after the incident, which Police Scotland said was reported around 4.30am.

The closure affected a key route in the Springburn area of north Glasgow, where early-morning traffic disruption can quickly spread to nearby streets and diversion routes.

At this stage, it is not clear whether anyone was injured. No further details about the people involved have been confirmed.

What is known

Police Scotland said the crash involved one vehicle and led to the closure of Springburn Road in both directions at the reported section.

Drivers were advised to avoid the area while emergency services dealt with the scene.

The first public report of the closure came later in the morning, at 7.54am, when traffic disruption was already under way.

What happens next

Police are expected to update the situation if there is confirmation of injuries or if the road reopens.

For now, motorists using the Springburn area are being asked to find an alternative route and stay clear of the closed stretch.
