Andy Murray’s gold post box in Dunblane reinstated after ‘runaway car’ smashes it over
ANDY Murray’s gold post box in Dunblane has been reinstated after it was 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.
But workmen were already pictured restoring the landmark on Tuesday afternoon, with one man applying a new coat of gold paint.
Images shared on social media had showed the box 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.
