A man was rushed to hospital following a crash in Renfrewshire yesterday.
The incident involved a car and a bus around 1.55pm on Main Road in Elderslie and resulted in a busy stretch of road being closed.
The driver of the car, a 54-year-old man, was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and the 51-year-old female passenger was checked at the scene.
There are no other reported injuries.
The road was closed between the junction for Glenpatrick Road and to the roundabout for Linwood Road and the A761. The roundabout was not closed.
A passer-by told the Paisley Daily Express: “Even two hours after the crash, it looked quite serious. Police were putting up more tape to extend the cordon.
“There were lots of police cars and emergency services. It’s such a busy road and it is shut both ways, it’s causing absolute chaos, especially at this time of day as rush hour approaches.”
The road was reopened shortly before 8pm. Police have confirmed enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
A spokesperson added: “Motorists are thanked for their patience while the road was closed.”
