A man is recovering after his car careered off a Moray road in stormy weather, and tumbled several times down an embankment.
The man’s black Renault Megane left the B9016 road between Keith and Buckie at around 9.15pm on Thursday night.
The accident occurred one mile past Altmore, a short distance from the junction with the A96 Aberdeen to Inverness route.
Although the man’s car was left in a mangled heap, he did not sustain any serious injury.
A police spokesman said: “We can confirm that a car left the road at a location one mile from Aultmore.
“The man, who was driving a black Renault Megane, did not suffer any life-threatening or life-changing injuries, but was taken to hospital by ambulance.
“At this stage, it is not possible to say whether weather conditions played a part in the crash.”
