THERE were rush-hour delays after a van overturned on the A8 at Langbank.
The Ford Transit, which had a small high-reach platform mounted on its roof, landed on its side facing the wrong way, after one of the wheels malfunctioned.
The crash happened just after 4pm and led to long tailbacks as the eastbound carriageway had to be closed while the vehicle was recovered and a fuel spillage was dealt with.
The driver was not injured.
