A DRIVER has been arrested after a road traffic collision which took place on the busy M90 on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers from Fife’s road policing unit attended the crash on the busy motorway at around 2.30pm on Tuesday, October 12.
The force released images of the badly damaged red BMW on the side of the road with a lorry stopped behind it.
On Twitter, the policing unit said that "miraculously" there had been no serious injuries.
They added that the BMW smelt "strongly of cannabis" and the driver was suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol as he appeared impaired.
However, he was arrested and refused a blood sample.
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
