A man is fighting for life in hospital after a crash on a busy road in North Lanarkshire.
The 64-year-old was a passenger in a Renault Captura, which was involved in a collision with a Scania HGV, in Coatbridge on Thursday.
He is in a critical but stable condition at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.
The incident happened on the A725 north road near to the entrance to the A8 eastbound, around 12.35pm.
