A BRIDE-TO-BE has been named Scotland's most accident-prone person, beating more than 100 other clumsy Scots to the title.

Lorraine Crozier, 35, from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire – nicknamed Calamity Crozier – has suffered more than 20 serious accidents as well as countless bumps, trips and falls.

Her injuries include a broken coccyx, ruptured knee ligaments, fractured elbow, chipped collar bone, dislocated shoulder, and four broken toes – despite the fact she once worked as a health and safety investigator.

She is so accident prone, on one occasion she damaged her shoulder walking into a lamppost on her way to the optician's .

But her luck finally changed after she was named Scotland's Most Accident Prone Person – collecting a 1,000 top prize.

Miss Crozier, who has a two-year-old daughter Hannah said: "I entered the competition as a bit of a joke to prove to my friends that something good could come of all of my accidents. I never believed I'd win.
