Lorry 'ploughs into tree' on Scots road as driver arrested over 'positive cocaine test'

A man has been arrested after allegedly testing positive for cocaine following a crash on a Fife road yesterday.

The alleged smash occurred around 10.30am on the A92 near the village of Rathillet when an HGV veered off the road and struck a tree.

Photos taken of the vehicle show the left side of the windscreen smashed as a result of the impact.

Fife Road Policing rushed to the scene and the 67-year-old lorry driver was given a drug test, which allegedly showed he had the drug in his system.

The man was then arrested by cops in relation to alleged road traffic offences.
