A drug-driver has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, after causing a crash that seriously injured three people, including a child, on the A90.
Thomas Reid, 52, was driving his Audi A5 while intoxicated on the road between Cortes and Fraserburgh on November 9 2020.
He swerved repeatedly into the path of oncoming traffic during rush hour, before colliding with a white Vauxhall Astra near Rathen at around 5.50pm.
All three people inside the Astra were taken to hospital with serious injuries, and Reid was also transferred to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
At the time, it was reported that one of the people injured in the other car was a child.
The section of road was closed for around 12 hours as a result of the incident.

Reid, of Glenbuchty Place in Fraserburgh, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving while under the influence of drugs at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
A line about attempting to overtake another vehicle on the road when it was unsafe to do so was removed from the charge sheet before his plea.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
