Toppled turbine blocks major road

A major road in south west Scotland has been blocked by part of a wind turbine.

Dumfries and Galloway Police warned that the A75 was likely to remain shut for some time after the incident which took place shortly before 1100 GMT.

A heavy goods vehicle spilled a large part of a wind turbine onto the road near the Kinmount straight between Dumfries and Annan.

Motorists were advised to expect delays or avoid the area entirely if at all possible.
