A woman is being taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with suspected head injuries following a crash on an Aberdeenshire road.
The air ambulance was called to the scene of the incident on the northbound A96 Aberdeen to Inverness road, between Insch and Huntly, at around 1.45pm.
However due to wintry conditions, with around an inch of snow said to have fallen on the road, the aircraft couldn’t take off.
Showers have also been reported in Deeside and all across Scotland.
Two people have had to be rescued from their vehicles following a crash on an Aberdeenshire road.
One 47-year-old woman is now en route to ARI having been rescued from her black Volkswagen Tiguan, though her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The crash is said to have happened at a crawler lane on the road.
Police, fire and rescue and ambulance services were all been called to the scene.
Fire teams from Huntly and Insch were called to the scene and assisted paramedics in recovering the people from two separate vehicles.
A fire and rescue spokesman said: “We have assisted the ambulance service just to remove the casualties from the cars. We haven’t had any messages back yet. We got the call at 1.40pm. We are just making the scene safe.”
A police spokeswoman said: “There was a collision on the A96 before Huntly and it is near the crawler lane. We were phoned by the fire and rescue service at 1.45pm.
“I think there was two people from different vehicles they were attending to. There was an inch of snow on the roads and it was icy. We got the call at 1.45pm.
“An ambulance is there and they are trying to divert traffic.”
An ambulance helicopter and two road ambulances are on the scene at the minute.
An ambulancve spokesman said: “We are in attendance at the moment and we’re still waiting on further details from it. The ambulance helicopter is there and two traditional ambulances.”
Police spokeswoman: “The female is currently enroute to ARI on a road ambulance, the air ambulance went up potentially to take her to hospital but because of the snow they couldn’t take off, so she is now going by land ambulance.
“A doctor at the scene they don’t think it is life-threatening but that will have to be assessed at the hospital.”
