Car ploughs into house in Ayrshire as crews called to reports of 'gas leak'

A car has ploughed into the side of a house in Ayrshire with emergency services racing to the scene.

Fire crews and police are among those to have attended the incident, which took place on St Margaret's Road, Ardrossan, around 11.45am this morning, September 1. Pictures from the scene show a huge emergency response, with at least one appliance in attendance.

A white motor lies in front of the terraced housing, with crews working around it.

A gas company vehicle can also be seen, amid reports of a gas leak, after locals told of a 'strong smell of gas'. It is understood the vehicle may have hit a gas box on the side of a building, however this has not been confirmed at this time.

Police erected a cordon around the site as a precaution. Nobody has been seriously injured in the crash.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.45am on Thursday, 1 September, 2022, police were called to St Margaret’s Road in Ardrossan, following a report of a car crashing into a building. A cordon was erected for a short time, as a precaution, due to a gas leak. There were no reported serious injuries.”

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 11.46am on Thursday, September 1 to reports of an incident involving a car and a property at St Margaret’s Road, Ardrossan. “Operations Control immediately mobilised two appliances and crews are currently still at the scene ensuring the area is safe.”
