Social media posts from some drivers said they had been stuck for hours.

The M8 motorway, a critical route connecting Edinburgh and Glasgow, was reopened earlier than anticipated following a significant road traffic collision that occurred on Sunday, causing extensive delays and necessitating a full closure between Junctions 5 and 6. The incident, which involved multiple vehicles, led to the hospitalization of several individuals, though specific details on the number of casualties and the extent of injuries were not disclosed. Traffic Scotland reported that the motorway was cleared and reopened by Monday morning, much to the relief of commuters and travelers. The swift action by emergency services and road maintenance crews was commended, as they worked tirelessly to manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow. Authorities have urged drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent future incidents.
