A grandad has been left "battered and bruised" after a bin lorry allegedly ploughed into the side of his motor. Peter Lewis, from Peterhead, was rushed to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after being pulled from his wrecked car on Thursday morning.
The 58-year-old was on his way to work when he claims a recycling truck smacked into him near the old AECC in Bridge of Don. Despite suffering soft tissue damage, the oil industry technician says he feels "lucky" to have escaped with minor injuries.
Speaking to Aberdeen Live, he said: “At first I didn't know what had happened as the glass had smashed out of the window and the car had been knocked right around and I ended up in the other lane. I'm a bit battered and bruised but apart from that I'm pretty much alright.
