A 17-year-old boy is in a serious condition in hospital after being knocked down by a van in Aberdeen.
Lang Stracht was closed for several hours after the early morning crash on Saturday.
The teen was hit by a white Fiat Ducato at about 5am.
Now police are appealing for witnesses – and are particularly keen to speak to a taxi driver who was in the area at the time.
They also believe another pedestrian, a woman, may have seen something in the moments leading up to the crash.
The driver of the van was not hurt.
Lang Stracht was shut between the turn-off for garden centre Dobbies and Skye Road while collision inspectors carried out their work.
Sergeant Iain Nicolson said: “Our enquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who saw what happened to get in touch.
“We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of a taxi who stopped at the crash and a female pedestrian seen in the area at the time.
“Anyone with information or who has dash-cam footage is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident 0806 of August, 5, 2023.”
