Five people have been taken to hospital after a ‘serious’ crash in Fife.
The extent of their injuries is not known at this stage.
The incident on the M90 between Junctions 4 and 5 near Blairadam happened at around 6.40am on Friday.
A dark blue BMW was reported to be on its roof with multiple emergency services at the scene.
Two men, aged 31 and 33, were taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Three men, aged 19, 20 and 37, were taken to the Queen Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call today to attend a road traffic collision on the M90.
“We dispatched five resources to the scene, including our special operations team and transported two patients to New Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and three patients to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.”
Traffic on M90 at a standstill
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a crash involving one car which happened around 6.35am on Friday on the M90 between junction 4 and 5.”
The southbound lane of the M90 was blocked and traffic was at a standstill due to the incident.
The road fully reopened at around 10am.
A commuter who passed the scene said: “I drove past at about 8.45am.
“I’d been travelling behind the Eintracht Frankfurt team bus, but like a few other vehicles it took the adjacent single carriageway.
“The traffic still was tailed right back so I could tell it was a bad one before I’d seen anything.
“Lane one was totally closed. There were a few service vehicles then suddenly I saw this navy blue BMW.
“It was an absolute wreck. The car was on its roof and it looked like there were no windows left and parts of it looked crushed.
“There was a windscreen propped up against the crash barrier at the side of the road and there were a couple of police vehicles there too.
“I have no idea what happened, but it must have been absolutely terrifying for everyone involved, and for anyone who even saw the crash.”
Fire services, ambulance and police on the scene
A spokesperson for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We received a call around 6.40am to attend a collision on the M90.
“We sent three appliances.
“There were five people in the vehicle who are being attended to by Scottish Ambulance Service.
“All five got out of their vehicle before SFRS arrived.”
Police have launched an appeal for witnesses following the crash.
