A man and a woman were taken to hospital after a smash on a notorious Aberdeenshire road yesterday.

The male casualty had to be cut free from a black Fiat Punto following the two-car collision which happened on the A947 Aberdeen to Fyvie road, near Oldmeldrum, at around 12.45pm.

The woman was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with back injuries. There were no further details of the man’s condition last night.

A police spokesman said he was taken to ARI “as a precaution” having suffered minor injuries.

Police, fire and rescue and ambulance services attended the accident, which resulted in the closure of the road between the Tarves junction and the Oldmeldrum roundabout for about three hours.

Nine firefighters were called to the scene in appliances from Oldmeldrum and Inverurie, and crews cut the man from the wreckage of the vehicle.

Later in the day a man – understood to be aged 38 – was taken to ARI with injuries to his face after his car went off the A90 Aberdeen to Stonehaven road during rush hour.

The accident involving a grey Renault Modus took place on the northbound carriageway near the Badentoy slip road, at Portlethen, around 4.35pm.

The police and ambulance service were called but there were no injuries and the road did not have to be closed.

A motorist also had a lucky escape after his white Vauxhall Corsa careered off the B974 Banchory to Fettercairn – or Cairn O’ Mount – road, near Fettercairn, at around 3pm.

Police were called to the scene, however the road was not closed and nobody is understood to have been hurt.

A police spokeswoman described it as “a minor incident” and said it had not caused any disturbance to traffic.
