A driver had to be taken to hospital on Tuesday after their car flipped as they swerved to avoid deer in Fife.

Police Scotland confirmed officers responded to reports of the single-vehicle road collision on the A911 between Windygates and Glenrothes.

A force spokesman says a 47-year-old was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy to be checked over following the incident shortly after 10pm on Tuesday.

It is thought the driver had swerved to avoid two deer on the road before the car rolled on to its roof.
