Car wrecked and motorway barrier smashed as Scots motorist rushed to hospital after crash

A car was left wrecked and facing the wrong way, while a motorway barrier was smashed after a crash which left a Scots motorist in hospital.

The one-vehicle incident happened on the M90 northbound near Kelty at around 4.35pm on Saturday July 2. South West Fife Police tweeted images of the crash aftermath which show considerable damage to the vehicle.

One image shows the green car stationary on the hard shoulder of the road, with the front bumper hanging off. A second image shows debris on the road alongside a broken roadside barrier.

A car tyre appears to be among the items strewn at the roadside, as two police vehicles are seen surveying the damage. South West Fife Police also thanked passing motorists who helped out.

The Twitter post said: "Community cops are helping out our Cowdenbeath Police colleagues for the first half of the back shift today. Flagged down for a single-vehicle collision on the M90.
