A police spokesman said: “Officers received reports of a one-car crash on the A90 at the B9033 junction near Crimond around 11.20am on Friday, April 15.
“The 29-year-old male driver of the grey Vauxhall Insignia has been taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with life-threatening injuries. No-one else was injured and inquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing.
“Anyone who witnessed the crash or has dash-cam footage of the incident should call police on 101, quoting incident 1215 of April 15.”
