A man has been seriously injured while working beneath a vehicle on a Dundee street.
Police cordoned off St Boswells Terrace in the St Mary’s area on Saturday morning.
The man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment shortly before 11am.
His condition has not been confirmed.
Locals said the road, near the Morrisons Daily store, was taped off as police began taking pictures of the scene.
One man told The Courier police were interviewing members of the public/
He said: “There is a communal car park for the flats at St Boswells Terrace.
“Police had a section of the street and the car park closed off.
“They were using a camera which I believe might have been mapping the area around the cordon.
“We heard the man had suffered an injury to his ribs before he was rushed away to hospital.”

Another man said: “Police were here for a few hours.
“One cop had a camera and was taking pictures of a recovery van and another vehicle in the cordon.
“A neighbour was saying she’d seen the guy injured on the ground and another member of the public was dialling 999.
“You could tell it must have been serious given the extent of the police investigation.
