A man has been charged with dangerous driving after a lorry overturned amid high winds on the Forth Road Bridge.

The incident led to the bridge being closed for three and a half hours on Tuesday.

A trailer toppled over on the northbound section of the bridge at around 2.45pm, causing tailbacks for drivers in the surrounding region.

Authorities had earlier closed the bridge to high-sided vehicles due to strong winds on the carriageways.

Police Scotland have now announced a 56-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving.

He is due to appear in Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
