Four people have been taken to hospital following a two-car crash.
The collision, between a black Vauxhall Astra and a red Vauxhall Corsa, happened on Monday on the A96 Aberdeen to Inverurie Road near Tyrebagger.
The 48-year-old male driver and 41-year-old passenger of the Astra were injured, as were the driver and passenger of the Corsa, both 18.
They were all taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where their injuries were said to be non-life threatening.
Police Scotland are appealing to the public for information about the collision, which happened at around 4.55pm that day.
Constable Tom Stables said: "Inquiries into the circumstances of the incident are at an early stage and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch.
"In particular we would like to speak to the driver or any occupants of a silver car that would have been exiting the unclassified Newhills road onto the A96 at the time of the incident. They may have information which could help the investigation and I would appeal for them to contact us."
Police can be reached by dialling 101.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
