One report states the incident could involve many more vehicles that crashed into stopped traffic after the initial incident.
One person in touch says the road conditions were ‘icy’ at the time, meaning it was hard to stop, and a hail storm had just passed through the area.
Police and the ambulance service have been seen attending the incident.
The incident is thought to have taken place around 6:15pm
