It is thought the vehicle came to a halt in water near the cafe and glamping site, between Kirriemuir and Alyth.
An eyewitness told The Courier: “There’s a huge emergency rescue operation going on here.
“It began this afternoon when someone seems to have driven straight into the river close to Peel Farm.
“The area is completely lit up with emergency service vehicles.
“I have seen the fire brigade, police and ambulance.
“There is also a rescue boat on the water and there was a rescue helicopter overhead.
“The river here is quite fast flowing just now and it seems the car went straight down into it.
“It’s hard to tell right now if anyone has been injured.”
