Wheres mine ? james73 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.
