Three caravan owners at a Scottish site will have received nasty shock over the weekend after finding out that their caravans were damaged in a collision with a lorry.
On Friday (September 22nd), an articulated vehicle left the road in Dunnon, Argyll, and ploughed through a fence at Loch Eck Caravan Park.
It collided with three caravans, slightly damaging two, while the third took the brunt of the impact.
While the driver had to be cut from his cab, it was fortunate that no one was inside the three caravans, police said.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene and checked the tourers for victims, but reported that the damage was only material.
The lorry driver was given first aid at the scene and was freed using hydraulic rescue equipment before being taken to Dunoon General Hospital.
Dunoon Community Fire Station watch commander Allan Graham said: “It was fortunate that the caravans were empty at the time of the crash or the consequences could have been tragic.”
