A three-year-boy has sustained life-threatening injuries following a one-car crash near New Pitsligo yesterday.

Emergency services were called to the scene just before 1pm. Police, fire and ambulance crews were all in attendance and the road was closed in both directions for more than 10 hours.

One car, a black Ford Fiesta, was involved in the collision.
