Three people have been taken to hospital following a two-vehicle collision on the A92 one mile south of Gourdon.
The 79-year-old female driver of a black Kia Creed was taken to hospital in Aberdeen with serious injuries.
The diver and passenger of a blue Ford Focus were taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment.
Emergency services were alerted to the crash at approximately 11.45am on Monday.
Paramedics, police, and firefighters responded, with two fire engines from Montrose and Stonehaven attending the scene.
Upon arrival, firefighters used specialised cutting equipment to rescue one person from the wreckage.
Three ambulances, along with a Special Operations Response Team (SORT), were dispatched to the location.
Paramedics assessed the three patients before transferring them to hospital.
Two individuals were transported to Ninewells Hospital, while the third was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Their conditions remain unknown at this time.
The A92 was closed between Gourdon and Johnshaven for more than six hours.
It reopened shortly after 6pm
