Probe launched after Aberdeen council van crash

A probe has been launched after a council van plunged through railings and crashed into an Aberdeen block of flats.

The accident took place on Farquhar Road in the Torry area of the city yesterday afternoon.

Police were called to the scene at around 2.20pm after being alerted by residents.

Last night an Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said that there had been no injuries as nobody had been in the vehicle at the time.

She added: “We are investigating the circumstances.”

A police spokeswoman said: “There was “some slight damage” to the building.”
