A man has been accounted for thoughtless driving after a van struck a rail route span in Dundee.

Part of the vehicle’s roof was crushed in the incident in St Vincent Street, Broughty Ferry, about 09:10 BST.

Police said the street was shut down for two hours after the van became stopped under the extension – which was set apart with enormous advance notice signs.

Officers said the man was uninjured. Network Rail urged drivers to check the height of their vehicles.

The organisation, which manages UK railway infrastructure, wrote: “We could fund access improvements at hundreds of stations across Britain with all the cash we have to spend dealing with bridge strikes.”
