Woman freed from vehicle after north-east crash

A woman had to be cut free from her car after it crashed down an embankment.

The car left the A95 Keith to Banff road, near Glenbarry Croft, and plunged down an embankment before coming to a rest on its side against a fence.

Emergency services were called to the incident at about 12.30pm yesterday, with fire crews also attending.

A fire spokesman said they used a saw to remove the windscreen and helped to free a woman.

An ambulance spokesman said two crews were sent to the scene but no one “required transport to hospital”.

The road was closed in both directions between the B9103 and A941 for about an hour as emergency services secured the scene.
