A doctor surgery and pharmacy were forced to closed today after a car crashed into a building.
The vehicle collided with the Douglas Street Surgery in Hamilton just after 9am.
The surgery and Boots Pharmacy, which sits next door, were closed as a result.
A Boots spokesperson said: "We can confirm that our Douglas Street store in Douglas is currently closed following an incident this morning. We are assisting the emergency services and will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so."
Emergency services were called to the incident and one person was treated at the scene by ambulance crews.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said: “We received a call today at 9.04am to attend an incident in Hamilton. We dispatched one ambulance and treated and discharged one patient at the scene.”
Douglas Street between Clydesdale Street and Almada Street was locked down by police for over an hour, and the public were asked to avoid the area.
The road has since re-opened.
