Manhunt after Aberdeen road rage incident

Hutcheon Street crash
Hutcheon Street crash

A manhunt was under way last night after an apparent road-rage incident caused thousands of pounds’ worth of damage on a busy Aberdeen street.

Up to seven cars were hit in Hutcheon Street about 4.45pm yesterday.

Witnesses described how three men in a white Volkswagen Golf fled the scene after colliding head-on with a Ford Focus.

One bystander said the group in the Golf had thrown spanners at the Ford in the run-up to the crash before speeding off towards Hutcheon Street.

One motorist who was nearby at the time said her car had been hit by a wrench.

Rush-hour traffic was thrown into chaos as police closed the street between Berryden Road and George Street.

One resident, who did not wish to be named, said: “We were walking up the street and we heard a crash – there was all this shouting and screaming.

“The Golf came flying down here at around 50mph. I thought he was going to go straight down the road but he actually smashed right into another car head first.

“I saw the driver of the Golf reversing – he hit all these other cars.

“Everyone jumped out through the windows or however they could.

“There was a boy who was sick. It must have been the adrenalin.”

The occupants of the Golf then fled the scene, according to the witness.

A recovery vehicle was called to remove several cars and police took witness statements by the roadside.

The bystander added: “Obviously some kind of road-rage incident had gone on first.

“It’s amazing that everyone is OK after a head-on crash like that – one of the engines was almost hanging out.”

One of the vehicles was leaking fluid on to the road and the fire service attended to make the scene safe.

A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said paramedics did attend but no treatment was required.

The road reopened to traffic just after 7pm.

A police spokesman said: “We are looking for the occupants of the VW Golf. Multiple vehicles were involved. Inquiries into this incident are ongoing.”
