The incident happened on Foresterhill Road earlier this afternoon.

The car crash outside Aberdeen Royal Infirmary
A 36-year-old man has been arrested after a car collided with traffic lights outside Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

A ‘runaway’ car has collided with a traffic light outside Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

The incident happened on Foresterhill Road at the Westburn Road junction earlier this afternoon.

A set of traffic lights has been knocked over by the white Mercedes, and a dark grey van has also been damaged.

It’s understood the vehicle had broken down before it was moved onto Foresterhill Road.

It is understood the car had broken down on Anderson Drive and was getting pushed onto Foresterhill Road by three men – two from behind and one leaning through the driver’s window.

An eye witness said: “The two guys pushing from behind stop, but the man (at the front) keeps pushing as he’s turning.

“The car just starts rolling and gets away from him.”

The source said that the man was “dragged along down the road” before he let the vehicle go.

He said: “But the car was still going and rolls all the way down.”

A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed two people had been transported to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary following the crash.

He said: “We received a call at 1653 hours on Monday to attend a road traffic collision on Foresterhill Road in Aberdeen.

“We dispatched a paramedic response vehicle and one ambulance to the scene with our first resource arriving within three minutes. We transported two patients to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.”
