One local said he saw an ambulance at the scene.

He said: “A paramedic crew were just leaving when I was driving past.

“There were three police units in attendance.

“It would appear the parked car that was hit has been shunted into another parked car.

“I hope everyone is OK.”

The Seat has now been removed from the scene and the road remained open.

Police Scotland said an investigation is ongoing into the crash.

A spokeswoman said: “At around 8.40am, police received a report of a crash involving three vehicles on Blackness Road.
