Mother and father killed in crash | |
(about 23 hours later) | |
A couple were killed and their child seriously injured in a crash on an Aberdeenshire road in icy conditions. | |
The man and woman, thought to be in their 30s, died in the collision, which happened on the A90 Peterhead to Fraserburgh road at 0115 GMT on Sunday. | |
Their child, a two-year-old girl, was taken to hospital in Aberdeen, where her condition was serious but stable. | |
A short time after the road reopened a car and a lorry collided. The driver of the car was in a serious condition. | |
In the first crash, the Vauxhall Frontera left the road and overturned near Cortes. | |
'Poor conditions' | |
The couple, who have not yet been named, were believed to be from the Fraserburgh area. | |
The road was closed for about seven hours while accident investigators examined the scene. | |
At about 0940 GMT, there was a two-vehicle crash on the A90 at Philorth. | |
A 37-year-old man from the Fraserburgh area was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where his condition was described as serious. The lorry driver did not need hospital treatment. | |
Insp Ewan Innes from Grampian Police said: "Weather conditions have been very poor in the Buchan area over the weekend with many routes affected by snow. | |
"Clearly road and weather conditions at the time of both collisions will be taken into account during our inquiries." |
