‘Drag race’ on Aberdeenshire road after police stop driver allegedly doing 106mph

Police are hunting for three rogue drivers after an alleged drag race on one of the north-east’s busiest roads.

Four cars are said to have been involved in the incident on the A90 Aberdeen to Ellon road, near Blackdog, on Saturday just after 9.30pm.

It comes as officers clocked another driver allegedly doing 106mph on the same stretch at the weekend as part of a crackdown on speeding motorists.

The 26-year-old man behind the wheel of a green Ford Focus was stopped following the alleged race and charged with dangerous driving.

However, the drivers of a red Toyota, a black Volkswagen Golf and a silver BMW saloon evaded the police after being spotted.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous.
