Four people rushed to hospital after ambulance crashes into car on A89
One person had to be airlifted to hospital following the early-morning incident. Four people have been taken to hospital after a car and an ambulance collided on a Scots road. The horror crash occurred at around 6.50am on Monday, August 11, on the A98 at Arradoul, near Buckie. Emergency crews raced to the scene, with one person airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The other three were taken to Dr Gray's Hospital in Elgin. Their conditions are not known at this stage. Police have closed the road at the A990 and A942 junctions. Images from the scene show the aftermath of the crash, with the ambulance tipped over on its side, with the metal on its front cab warped and buckled, and its windscreen smashed. The car, a dark blue Renault, is positioned off the road, and is severely damaged at the back, with its rear window missing and part of its roof seemingly torn off. Debris can be seen littering the road, with police officers in attendance. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
