Two people were left injured with one being rushed to hospital after a crash in Falkirk.
The smash, which involved two cars, happened on the A883 in Denny at around 7.15pm last night.
A marked police car was travelling west between the Checkbar and Hertbertshire roundabouts near the entrance to Denny cemetery when a grey Audi Q3 pulled to the side to let it pass.
As the police vehicle passed, two oncoming vehicles stopped - a grey Vauxhall Zafira and an unknown vehicle - a silver Vauxhall Meriva then crashed into the back of the Zafira.
The driver of the Zafira, a 35-year-old woman was not injured, however, her front seat passenger, a 36-year-old man, was taken to Forth Valley Royal hospital for treatment.
Three children, aged thirteen, seven and three were also in the car, but were not injured.
The 68-year-old driver of the Vauxhall Meriva was not injured and will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal in connection with careless driving.
His passenger, a 36-year-old man, was treated for a minor injury at the scene.
