A driver has been charged after a car mounted a roundabout in Clydebank this morning damaging a sign and 'shutting off the traffic lights.'
Cops were called to Kilbowie Roundabout at around 5.20am on Tuesday, December 16 after reports of a one car crash.
A picture taken at the scene shows a grey car at the centre of the grass mound in the middle of the central island which intersects Kilbowie Road, Great Western Road and Duntocher Road.
The driver has since been arrested in connection with the incident.
The 65-year-old was charged with an alleged road traffic offence and is due to appear in Dumbarton Sheriff Court at a later date.
