A DRIVER had a "narrow escape" after a tree collapsed on their car amid Storm Eowyn.
Officers revealed a motorist in East Dunbartonshire luckily escaped their vehicle after a tree fell onto it due to high winds.
However, following the incident, cops have urged drivers to "not use the road network unless it is an emergency".
Police Scotland Argyle and West Dunbartonshire shared a picture of the vehicle on their Facebook.
