A police officer narrowly escaped injury after his car was crushed by a lorry as he arrived to deal with another toppled HGV.

The first lorry was blown over on the A1 in East Lothian at around 10.15am on Tuesday as heavy rain and wind battered the country.

The road patrol sergeant arrived on the scene to “carry out scene protection” when another lorry was blown on top of his static vehicle.
