A tree has come down crushing a police van in a Scots village.
The incident happened amid horror Storm Arwen winds in Hatton of Fintray in Aberdeenshire last night.
It was a miracle escape for the officers who thankfully are not believed to have been in the van at the time.
A dramatic picture taken from the scene shows the tree sitting on top of the vehicle on the road.
The front of the van is completely crushed under the huge tree.
It's believed officers were responding to an incident nearby at the time and the blue flashing lights from the vehicle can still be seen on in the picture.
On returning to their van they discovered the damage.
Local Facebook page Fubar News posted on social media to alert locals.
They said: "So very lucky our North East Division officers were not in their van.
"Hatton of Fintray. Thankfully everyone was out and no one injured."
