Tunnel closed by overturned lorry
The Clyde Tunnel in Glasgow was closed after a lorry overturned after leaving
its north end, shedding a huge load of whisky across the carriageway.
A section of the Clydeside Expressway was shut after the lorry turned over
on a slip road after emerging from the tunnel at about 1830 BST.
No other vehicles were involved. The driver was treated for head injuries
but his condition is not serious.
Strathclyde Police said diversions were in place.

Whisky spill sparks city road chaos
A MAJOR Glasgow route was shut for 10 hours after a lorry overturned and
shed 15,000 litres of whisky across the road.
The tanker, which was transporting hundreds of casks, caused severe
disruption after it toppled on the Clydeside Expressway.
Fifteen firefighters used foam to treat the spilt whisky and the clean-up
operation went on through the night.
Although the HGV driver was rushed to the Southern General Hospital, his
injuries were not thought to be life threatening.
The accident happened on the eastbound carriageway, near a slip road at
Broomhill, around 6.30pm last night.
The load was being transported by a private haulage firm on behalf of
Chivas Bros from its site in Dalmuir to Mulben, Moray.
Police closed a number of slip roads close to the Clyde Tunnel and the
restrictions were in force until 4.30am.
No other vehicles were involved.
A police spokeswoman said the lorry tilted to the right as it drove round a
bend.
Three fire crews, an ambulance and several police vehicles attended the
scene.
