Appeal following fatal crash on M77

Road Policing officers are appealing for information following a fatal crash on the M77 in Glasgow on Tuesday, 30 September, 2025.

Around 5.30pm, we were called to the M77 northbound at its merge with the M8, where a tractor and trailer had shed its load of timber onto the M8.

Emergency services attended and the driver of the tractor, a 61-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sergeant Fraser McEwan said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died. Enquiries are ongoing into the cause of the crash, however, one line of enquiry is that the driver took ill within the tractor.

“A number of road closures had to be put in place following this crash to allow for an investigation to take place and the load to be recovered. All roads were reopened at 5.25am this morning.

“We would ask anyone who witnessed this crash and has yet to speak with police to please contact us. Anyone with relevant dash-came footage is also asked to come forward.

“If you can help, please contact police on 101 quoting incident number 2508 of 30 September.”
