Montgomerie in car accident

Glasgow - European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie was involved in a car accident in Scotland on Thursday.

Montgomerie, who led Europe to victory over the United States in the Ryder Cup earlier this month, was shaken after his car collided with a van near Glasgow.

Firefighters helped to clear the vehicles from the carriageway but former world number two Montgomerie did not require hospital treatment.

A spokesperson for the Scottish Ambulance Service said they had received a report of a collision involving a van, a lorry and two cars.

The spokesperson said: "Three ambulances were sent to the scene but no-one required hospitalisation. There were minor and superficial injuries."

A spokesperson for Strathclyde Police added: "Police received a report of a crash on the A80 at Moodiesburn at around 11:30(GMT) on Thursday. It does not look as though anyone is seriously injured."
