Firefighters tackled a late night fire in Glasgow after a tarmacking lorry near the M8 motorway burst into flames.

The incident occurred on New City Road, near Phoenix Road, just after 23:20 on Tuesday night.

Social media posts described hearing "a very loud bang/explosion" near the city centre, followed by huge plumes of smoke, while videos showed fire crews extinguishing the vehicle with water.

A nearby resident told BBC Scotland News he was lying in bed when he saw an orange glow through his curtains, followed by a loud bang.

Viaduct works for the M8 are currently being carried out at the road, intended to strengthen the structure.

No injuries were reported.
