A lorry driver had a lucky escape after his articulated lorry overturned and blocked a major Scots road.
The driver of the artic was reportedly able to climb out of the vehicle unharmed after it flipped over on the A701 south of St Ann's Bridge, close to both Dumfries and Lockerbie in the Borders. However, the devastating crash saw the vehicle overturn across the width of the single carriageway road, blocking it for more than 12 hours.
Images shared with the Record show the yellow Scania and its blue trailer splayed across the carriageway, leaving a trail of dirt in their wake. The vehicle appeared to be carrying equipment which had been mangled and thrown off the flatbed following the crash.
