Three people were rushed to hospital after a car was left wedged underneath a tractor during a horror crash in Coatbridge.
Emergency services were called to the scene on the Lanarkshire town's Sunnyside Road at around 10pm on Wednesday following reports of a collision.
A picture released by road policing officers shows the massive farm vehicle’s front wheels resting on the roof of the partially-flattened car.
Three people, who were travelling inside the silver vehicle, were rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment after sustaining minor injuries, while police confirmed the driver of the tractor was uninjured.
A 23-year-old man, who was allegedly behind the wheel of the car, has been charged with a host of road traffic offences including careless driving.
He is set to appear in court at a later date and a report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
