Four people have been injured in a head-on collision.
The A70 Edinburgh to Lanark road was closed for several hours near Harperrig Reservoir after the accident at 5.35pm yesterday.
A Honda Civic travelling west was involved in a head-on collision with a Skoda Fabia heading in the opposite direction, police said.
The four occupants of the vehicles were taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with various injuries.
Sergeant Roger Park, of the national trunk road patrol group, said: "I wish to thank those motorists and members of the public who stopped at the scene to assist the persons involved and who provided information to police at the time.
"I would now appeal to anyone else who thinks they may have witnessed the incident or who perhaps think they have information relevant to our enquiries to contact police immediately."
Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
