London, Oct 22(ANI): Scottish golf legend Colin Montgomerie has admitted that he was "lucky" to escape serious injury when his car collided with a van near Cumbernauld in Scotland.

Montgomerie, captain of the winning European Ryder Cup team, was treated for minor injuries at the scene of the accident, despite his silver BMW 7 series being badly damaged.

"It was a terrible shock. I'm lucky to have come out of it relatively unscathed," the Sun quoted Montgomerie, as saying.

"I was trapped, as the side of the car was compressed and the air bags were holding me back. But the passenger door suddenly opened and then I was pulled to safety, thanks to other drivers who had witnessed the accident," he added.

Police said that the driver of the other vehicle, a delivery van, had been charged with road traffic offences. (ANI)
