A WOMAN has died and four people, including two children, have been injured in a crash on the A90 in Tayside.
Police said all five people were in a black Nissan Micra which crashed near the village of Errol just after 11am on Friday.
The 32-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car died at the scene of the crash.
The other four occupants, a 29-year-old man, a 20-year-old man, a seven-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, were taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment.
Sergeant William Strachan of Police Scotland’s road policing unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time.
“We are conducting extensive inquiries into the circumstances of this incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage to contact us as soon as possible.
“I would like to thank members of the public for their patience while we carried out our investigation into this serious collision.”
The road was closed for six hours as an investigation took place.
Anyone who witnessed the incident has been asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1349 of August 11.
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!
