A 58 year-old man has been arrested following an early morning crash in Prestwick - which saw a car mount a pavement and land on top of a public bin.

Pictures circulated earlier today on social media showing a dark coloured Mercedes-Benz car wedged on top of a public bin in the town’s Main Street.

Ayrshire Live can reveal that an arrest has been made in connection to the incident.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 6am on Wednesday, 22 May, 2024 we were called to a single vehicle crash on Main Street, Prestwick.

“Officers attended. The driver, a 58-year-old man, was arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Divers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.
