The emergency services were called to the centre of Aberdeen this afternoon after a woman is understood to have been struck by the wing mirror of a van.
The woman was struck at the junction between Back Wynd and Union Street shortly after 2.30pm and traffic along the busy thoroughfare slowed to a crawl as police and paramedics arrived on the scene.
A fire engine was passing the spot at the time, and crews left the vehicle to offer immediate assistance to the injured woman and called for an ambulance to attend.
A police spokeswoman confirmed that the woman had been hurt, but said her injuries were not serious and only required treatment from paramedics at the scene.
