A four-year-old girl is in serious condition in hospital after a 4x4 towing a caravan overturned on a busy road.
The green Mitstubishi pick-up was travelling south on the A9 when the incident happened at the Pass of Killiecrankie, near Pitlochry, at around 4pm yesterday.
The girl suffered head injuries and was airlifted to Yorkhill Children's Hospital in Glasgow where her condition is described as serious.
A 13-year-old boy and 27-year-old woman who were also in the vehicle were taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
Their condition is not thought to be serious. The three people are thought to be members of the same family.
The southbound carriageway was closed until 10.30pm to allow for crash investigations to be carried out and the vehicles to be recovered.
Police Scotland are appealing for anyone who saw the incident or who might have seen the Mitstubishi and caravan travelling on the road before the collision to contact them on 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
