Car left stranded and sinking on collapsed bridge as Storm Babet batters Scotland

A car near Dundee has been left stranded on a collapsed bridge after Storm Babet caused heavy flooding in the area.

Footage shows the damaged vehicle - with a smashed windscreen - sinking into the ground as water rushes around it.
