Motorists delay after tractor sheds its load

Motorists faced delays after a tractor shed its trailer load of grass on the approach to the Erskine Bridge.

The northbound carriageway of the bridge was closed during the clean-up, with tailbacks stretching as far back as Paisley.

Pictures posted on social media showed the trailer on its side with grass covering two lanes of the M898 in Renfrewshire. Traffic Scotland tweeted: “A tractor has shed it’s grass load.”
