A massive pothole on the M74 motorway in South Lanarkshire has caused damage to at least four vehicles.
Police said one vehicle sustained major suspension damage and had to be towed from the motorway after the incident near Larkhall at about 0600 GMT.
Motorway maintenance firm Amey said none of the four vehicles involved hit each other and its staff had repaired the pothole by 0730 GMT.
A large pothole was also causing problems on the M8 in West Lothian.
Motorists were warned to take care on the M8 near Bathgate because of a large pothole on the westbound carriageway.
Driving conditions across Scotland have again been difficult as overnight rain, sleet and snow moved across the country.
The Met Office issued a severe weather warning for Central, Tayside and Fife, and Dumfries and Galloway.
Grampian, Lothian and Borders and Strathclyde were also affected.
Up to 15cm (6in) of snow fell in some areas over 300m (984ft).
In the Lochaber area, the A86 Spean Bridge to Kingussie/Dalwhinnie, the A82 north of Fort William and the A830 between Fort William and Mallaig are all affected by impacted snow and ice.
Grampian Police said roads were very icy and extra care was needed.
There were also problems on the A9 between Dunblane and Auchterarder in Perthshire.
Snow is also affecting the M74 southbound in Dumfries and Galloway.
Police in Dumfries and Galloway are warning of standing water on the roads.
In the Borders, snow is lying on the A7 and the A68.
