A driver has been arrested after a road traffic collision which took place on the busy M90 on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers from Fife’s road policing unit attended the crash on the busy motorway at around 2.30pm on Tuesday, October 12.
The force released images of the badly damaged red BMW on the side of the road with a lorry stopped behind it.
On Twitter, the policing unit said that ‘miraculously’ there had been no serious injuries.
They added that the BMW smelt ‘strongly of cannabis’ and the driver was suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol as he appeared impaired, however he was arrested and refused a blood sample.
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
