A DRIVER had a lucky escape after his car left the A91 near Tillicoultry earlier this afternoon.

The Toyota landed on its roof after veering off the road near the garden centre to the east of the town.

Emergency services were alerted at 3.35pm today (Thursday) and police and ambulance personnel were dispatched to the scene.

The male driver was examined by paramedics and is not thought to have been seriously injured.

The A91 between Dollar and Tillicoultry has witnessed a number of road traffic incidents over the years.

In October last year, a car flipped onto its side while driving along the same stretch of road.

A few months earlier, a woman became trapped in her car after it left the road and landed in a field.
