OAPs treated after car flips on to its roof

TWO pensioners required treatment after the car they were travelling in crashed and landed on its roof.

The accident happened at 7:45pm yesterday on Wakefield Avenue when the car's front wheel hit the central reservation kerb flagstone and flipped on to its side.

It then slid on the ground before hitting a parked car, ending up on its roof.

The 69-year-old female passenger released herself while the 73-year-old male driver was trapped upside down by his seatbelt.

Firefighters released the driver and treated him at the scene for first aid and oxygen, but he did not need to go to hospital. The woman was taken to hospital.

Earlier in the evening, another car crash left a man requiring hospital treatment. The accident happened just before 6pm on Edinburgh Road in Linlithgow.

Only one car was involved, with the 31-year-old taken to Stirling Royal Infirmary for treatment.
