An investigation has been launched after a large chunk of metal on an Aberdeenshire road resulted in a three vehicle crash.
The emergency services were called to the A96 Aberdeen to Inverness road between Colpy and Huntly, close to Glens of Foudland just before 8pm on Friday night.
Although the three vehicles involved in the incident sustained serious damage, there were no serious injuries.
A police spokesman said: “The collision occurred due to a large U-shaped metal frame, similar to those used on logging lorries which had fallen from an unknown vehicle onto the road.”
Constable Edwards from the Inverurie Road Policing Unit said: “I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the U-shaped metal frame fall from a vehicle, or saw a logging-type vehicle on this road, or has any dash cam of a journey taken on the A96 between Inverurie and Huntly in either direction at around 7.56pm to contact the police.”
“This had the potential to be very serious, and I would ask anyone who has information which would assist our investigation to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
