A teenager has been left with “life-changing injuries” after a car flipped and caught fire near Aberdeen.
The 18-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary following the incident on the A93 on the outskirts of Aberdeen.
A 27-year-old man was also taken to hospital with serious injuries, while a 19-year-old was treated for minor wounds.
The incident involving the grey Audi A6 happened at 12.40am on Saturday.
The road was closed for investigations and until repairs to the road surface can be made.
Police are looking to piece together the circumstances of the crash, and have asked any witnesses to come forward.
“We continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash and it is important we establish exactly what happened at the time of the crash and in the moments leading up to it,” Sergeant Chris Smith said.
“If you witnessed the crash and have yet to speak to officers, please get in touch. If you were driving in the area before 12.40am and saw a car matching this description, please also come forward.
“We would like to speak to anyone who has dashcam or CCTV footage which assist with our investigation.”
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
