A car was sitting at the foot of a steep hill in Coatbridge, when a JCB travelling down the hill had brake failure. The JCB ploughed into the car, throwing it almost vertical.

Inside the car, a mother and her two-year-old child were shocked and distressed but, thankfully, unhurt.

The child's car seat held in place throughout the ordeal. If the seat had not been properly secured, it could easily have resulted in serious injury or death.
