Police have revealed new details following a serious crash on Glasgow's M8 which involved two officers.

We reported how 999 crews rushed to Junction 13 (Provan Interchange) on the motorway after being called to a multi-vehicle crash in the East End of the city. 

Police say they were alerted to the incident shortly after 1pm on Wednesday, July 24.

Previously, the force said the smash involved three motors - and one of them was a police vehicle.

Road cops say the incident involved a Mercedes A45 which collided with an unmarked Volva S90 police car and Mercedes CLS that were on the hard shoulder of the eastbound carriageway.

After the crash, seven men in total - including two police officers - were rushed to hospital.

Now, Police Scotland has provided details on the conditions of all the men injured.

Following the smash, officers say that two police officers and two men from the Mercedes CLS were taken to hospital.

They have said a 48-year-old police officer and a 43-year-old man remain fighting for their lives.

Meanwhile, a 38-year-old police officer and a 31-year-old man have both been discharged following treatment.

The force has also said three men - aged 27, 33, and 39 - were travelling in the Mercedes A45 at the time of the collision.

However, the 27-year-old and 39-year-old men left the scene but were tracked down by cops nearby.

All three were then taken to hospital as well for treatment.

Police say the 39-year-old remains in a critical condition, while the 33-year-old is still being treated for serious injuries.

The 27-year-old was discharged from hospital and arrested in connection with alleged road traffic offences.

After that, he was released pending further enquiries but has since been arrested and charged in connection with an unrelated matter.

He is being held in custody and expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, July 26.

Following the incident, the eastbound carriageway of the road was closed for around 12 hours to allow enquiries to be carried out at the scene.
