Andy Murray’s gold post box in Dunblane smashed over by ‘runaway car’
ANDY Murray’s gold post box in Dunblane has been knocked over by a car.
The post box – painted gold in honour of the Scots tennis legend’s Olympic win in 2012 – was sent flying after a “runaway car” careered into it.
The incident happened just before 8pm in Dunblane High Street last night.
Images shared on social media show the gold-painted landmark on its side after it was ripped from the ground in the smash.
One eyewitness told how the car “rolled back and knocked the post box out”.
A woman suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision but did not require medical treatment.
A Royal Mail spokeswoman said: “We’re aware that the Andy Murray gold postbox has been knocked down and will look to reinstate it as soon as possible.”
