Three people have been taken to hospital after a crash on the A96 in Aberdeen this morning.
Three ambulances, a rapid response unit and a trauma team were sent by the Scottish Ambulance Service to attend the incident in Bucksburn.
The condition of those injured is unknown at this time.
Auchmill Road was shut at the Haudagain roundabout as a result of the one-car incident, which was reported at 10.50am.
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 10.52am hours today to attend a road traffic collision on Auchmill Road in Aberdeen.
“We dispatched three ambulances, our special operations team, a rapid response unit and our trauma team to the scene.
“We transported three patients to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.”
A96 crash leaves trail of destruction
The wreckage of a car was visible from the roadside outside a housing block.
A lamppost on the westbound side of the A96 was completely destroyed due to the impact.
The severity of the crash caused the road to be closed in the westbound direction for almost two hours.
The A96 was eventually re-opened around 1pm this afternoon, which alleviated delays on the busy road.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.50am on Friday, April 26, 2024, we were called to a report of a one-vehicle crash on Auchmill Road, Aberdeen.
“Emergency services are in attendance.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service also confirmed to The P&J that two appliances were sent to the scene to assist police and ambulances.
