Car driver dies after horror crash with ambulance on Scots road
Two paramedics and the male patient from the ambulance were also rushed to hospital following the incident on Monday morning. A man has died after a horror crash with an ambulance on the A98. Cops were alerted to the incident on the A98 at Arradoul at around 6.50am on Monday, August 11, involving a blue Renault Megane and the ambulance. Medics raced to the scene but the 36-year-old male driver of the car sadly could not be saved and was pronounced dead. Two male paramedics and the male patient from the ambulance were rushed to Dr Gray's Hospital and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Hospital for treatment, but none of their injuries are thought to be serious. Images captured the aftermath of the crash, with the ambulance tipped over on its side, showing the front cab warped and buckled, and its windscreen smashed. The car was severely damaged at the back, with its rear window missing and part of its roof ripped off. The A98 was closed throughout yesterday to allow investigations to be carried out and remained closed over night to allow work to be completed by Moray Council. The road is expected to be opened fully at some point this morning. Sergeant Dave Cooper from the Road Policing Unit, Elgin said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died and we continue to carry out enquiries to establish the full circumstances of the crash. 'I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash or the vehicles prior to the crash and who hasn't already spoken to officers to contact us. 'I would also ask anyone who was in the area and may have dash cam footage which could assist to get in touch.
