Earlier today, a spokeswoman said: “Around 3.15pm, police received a report of a road traffic collision involving a car and a female pedestrian on Robertson Road, Fraserburgh.

“Emergency services are in attendance and the female is being checked over by paramedics.”

School traffic ban

The incident comes as police start to fine drivers who are trying to get around another school’s traffic ban in the town by congesting up neighbouring streets.

An 18-month road closure outside South Park School was launched at the end of May last year, with the hopes of cutting down car usage.
