A man has died after becoming stuck under a car in his garage.

The 54-year-old became trapped under a car he was working on at his home in Invergordon in the Highlands on Wednesday night.

Emergency services were called to the scene but the man died from his injuries.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm that emergency services attended an address in Invergordon about 8.40pm yesterday evening following a report of a 54-year-old man trapped within a garage.

"Unfortunately, the man died at the scene.

"There were no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course."
