A SCOTTISH A road has been closed while police investigate the “unexplained” death of a 28-year-old woman.
The A90 Kingsway, at Dundee, was closed last night in both directions between the Coupar Angus interchange and the Strathmartine roundabout.
Emergency services attended the scene of a crash near the Clepington roundabout at about 11.09pm on Thursday.
Traffic Scotland last night announced the road was closed due to a “serious collision”.
A spokesperson said: “The A90 Kingsway is closed in both directions between Coupar Angus interchange and Strathmartine roundabout due to a serious collision.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.35pm on Thursday July 27, police were called to the A90 Kingsway West in Dundee, near McAlpine Road, following the recovery of the body of a 28-year-old woman.
“Next of kin have been made aware and the death is being treated as unexplained, pending further inquiries. The road remains closed as the investigation continues.
“Anyone who was in the area on the night of Thursday July 27 and has any information, or possible dashcam footage, is urged to call police on 101, quoting incident 4314 of July 27 2023.”
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “Our sympathies are with family and friends at this time.
“As police investigations into this incident are on-going, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this time, however, as part of standard policy, officials will meet with Police Scotland and operating companies to obtain more detailed information on this incident.”
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!
