Learner driver smashes car into side of Scots home after ploughing through fence
A white Nissan ploughed through a fence and crashed into a house in Dunfermline, Fife. A car sporting learner plates has smashed through a garden fence and crashed into a home on a Scots street. Yesterday at around 8.33pm, emergency crews raced to Kerrisk Drive in Dunfermline after a white Nissan ploughed into a residential property through a wooden fence off Aberdour Road. Images from the scene show the area around the car, which sported a learners L-plate, taped off. Emergency crews were in attendance. The car, which had only been road taxed on June 1 2025, seemed to have crashed into an extension attached to the home. Three appliances from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service rushed to the scene. Firefighters were met by a collision involving a car and a building, however, there were no reported casualties. The fire service left the scene after making sure the area was safe. A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We were alerted at 8.33pm on Monday, 16 June to reports of a road traffic collision in Dunfermline. "Operations Control mobilised three appliances to the town's Kerrisk Drive, where firefighters were met by a collision involving a car and a building. "Crews worked to make the area safe before leaving the scene. "There were no casualties." Last week, in a separate incident, we reported that a BMW driver ploughed into an Edinburgh garden as terrified kids took cover in their homes. On the evening of May 10, Shona Halliday was at her house in Dalkeith when a motorist"came through the fence to her garden". Footage from the garden shows the BMW 3 series on the lawn, with damage to the front of the vehicle and the wooden fence crumpled underneath. Shona and her neighbour both have 13-year-old boys, who she said "could have been out playing in the garden". Officers have since arrested a 32-year-old driver, who is due to appear in court on July 2. Police have said no injuries were reported. Shona said: "This happened at 9.05pm last night on Thornybank Grove. "He drove into the Woodburn pavilion car park, then drove right through the boundary fence through my garden and through me and my neighbour's fence. Then was trying to reverse back out. "Neighbour and a bystander got him out the car and held him till the police came. No one was hurt but myself and my neighbour has 13-year-old boys who could have been out in the garden, such a shock. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Around 9.05pm on Tuesday, 10 June, 2025, we received a report of a one vehicle crash on Thornybank Grove, Dalkeith. 'Officers attended, and no injuries were reported. The driver, a 32-year-old man, was arrested and charged in connection with a driving offence and is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday, 2 July, 20."
