A 20-year-old man has been charged after a car overturned on a Perthshire road and landed in a ditch.

Police were called to the A923 near Pitcur – close to the border with Angus – at around 6pm on Sunday.

Photos shared by officers on X showed the car upside down in a ditch at the side of the road, between Dundee and Coupar Angus.

The driver escaped uninjured.

However, Road Policing Scotland’s post said he was accused of driving without insurance or a licence, and without having permission to have the car.

“The incident involved a Ford Fiesta car. The road was cleared around 7.40pm.

“A 20-year-old man was charged in connection with road traffic offences and will be reported to the procurator fiscal in due course.”

A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We got a call to attend a one-vehicle crash on the A923 near Newtyle at 6.02pm on Sunday.

“We sent two appliances from Blairgowrie.

“The crews found there were no casualties and made the scene safe.”
