An eight-year-old girl has been taken to hospital after being struck by a car in Fraserburgh.
Police said the child was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to be checked over after the incident.
Emergency services rushed to Robertson Road near Lochpots Primary School at about 3.15pm.
Police officers and an ambulance crew attended the scene in Robertson Road.
An air ambulance was also in attendance.
Officers confirmed their investigation to establish the circumstances of the incident are ongoing.
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.
