A man has died following an early-morning crash in Clackmannanshire.
Police attending a separate incident in Tillicoultry at around 9am on Sunday spotted a black Volkswagen Golf in woodland down an embankment on the A908 at its junction with Lower Mill Street.
The driver, a 38-year-old man, was found dead inside.
