A THREE car smash on the M8 caused rush hour chaos for drivers this morning. 

The crash blocked the outside lane at J27 Arkleston near Glasgow Airport.

Motorists heading eastbound at around 8.50am were advised to approach the incident with caution and delays were reported. 

The smash came just an hour after a crash at the same area of the motorway.

Around 7.45am, a car and a van had crashed in the outside lane, blocking it from traffic.

However, both incidents were later cleared and the road slowly began to return to normal.
