Giant Andy Scott statue felled in roundabout crash

A giant sculpture of a striding man by public artist Andy Scott has been knocked over in a car accident. The 4m (13ft) structure, installed at Muirside roundabout, Tullibody, in Clackmannanshire, is one of five pieces in the county by the artist.

It is understood a car crashed into the statue, which sits outside the village police station, at about 2110 GMT on Saturday. Central Scotland Police said they were investigating the incident.

The sculpture - also known as the Man in Motion - is made of welded steel mosaic and has the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle as a backdrop. Brian Smith, a college lecturer who lives near the sculpture, said the impact of the crash must have been considerable.
