A Markinch resident has told of his shock after seeing a car flip on to its side on Saturday evening.
The incident occurred in the Fife town – on Mitchell Terrace, beside the train station – at around 6pm.
Emergency services attended the scene and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed nobody was injured in the crash.
Blair Buchan, who witnessed the incident, said: “I had just come off the train from Edinburgh and I walked out on to the street from the station and just heard this bang and saw this car flipping onto its side.
“I didn’t hesitate and ran over while dialling 999.
“The police call centre was busy so I waited about five minutes for an answer.
“Once they answered they were very quick in sending police and Glenrothes fire engines arrived shortly after.
“Some older people took me away from the scene because they had seen I was in shock.
“The police came to me and took a statement and my details.”
