Injuries avoided in Dock Street crash

Commuters in Dundee experienced a rush-hour delay on Tuesday morning following a collision on a busy city road.

Traffic on Dock Street was forced to queue for up to 20 minutes after an accident involving a blue Volvo S40 and a Mercedes lorry.

The collision occurred shortly before 9am just east of the entrance to McConechy’s Tyres.

Fortunately no injuries were reported but the road was shut briefly to allow police to clear debris.

One witness told The Courier: ”At first I thought the car had gone under the lorry, so I’m happy to hear that nobody was hurt.

”The lorry was in the middle of the road and blocking all four lanes so some cars were mounting the pavement and just driving around it.”

A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed they had not been called to the scene to deal with any casualties.
