A TEENAGER has been killed after the car he was in crashed early on Sunday morning.
The 19-year-old was a passenger in a black Audi RS3 car which crashed on the B9077 road in Aberdeen at 12.40am.
Emergency services were called out, but the 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 23-year-old man who had been driving the car, and a 22-year-old male who was also a passenger in it were both taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with minor injuries, Police Scotland said.
Officers closed the road between Kirkton House and Leggart Terrace to allow for collision investigation works to be carried out.
Sergeant Lesley Morrison, of the Elgin road policing unit, said: “Our inquiries into the circumstances are ongoing and our thoughts are with the deceased’s family at this difficult time.
“I would urge anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the car prior to the incident to get in touch.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
