The driver, a 54-year-old man, remains in a stable condition at the same hospital.
A 34-year-old man driving the other car is also in a stable condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Sergeant Craig McDonald, who is dealing with the investigation, said today: This was a serious road crash which has left a number of people badly injured.
"The A73 was busy at this time and a number of cars stopped to help.
We continue to progress our inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and I would ask that anyone who witnessed the crash contact the road policing unit at Motherwell via the 101 number with any information they may have.''
