Lanarkshire man hospitalised as black BMW found on roundabout

An elderly man was taken to hospital on Sunday evening after a crash in East Kilbride.

Emergency services rushed to Greenhills Road in the town after a 61-year-old man appeared to have crashed his car into the roundabout.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

A Police Scotland spokesman told Lanarkshire Live : “We were made aware of a crash involving a single car on Greenhills Road around 4.35pm

“One man was taken to Hairmyres Hospital as a precaution. The vehicle was recovered and the vehicle cleared by 6.05pm."

Police confirmed a 61-year-old man has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal in connection with a road traffic offence.

The incident took place just before 5pm (Handout)

Pictures seem to show a black convertible BMW on the roundabout boundary, next to a lamp post.

Pictures also seem to show paramedics and police officers were at the scene.

A source told us: “It was a bright clear day just before 5pm.

“I know the roadworks haven’t been completed, but I’ve no idea how you end up on the side of a roundabout yourself.

“The car was a right state and the driver is lucky the road was fairly quiet and no one else was involved.

"It could have been a lot worse."
