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 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!
