Driver dies in collision between car and lorry

A motorist has died after a crash between his car and a lorry in the north-east of Scotland.

Police were called to the A90 near Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire at around 1pm on Friday.

The 53-year-old driver of a Toyota Rav4 was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 47-year-old driver of the lorry was not injured.

Officers shut the road for 13 hours and appealed for witnesses.

“Our thoughts are with the family of the man who died, at this very difficult time, as well as with the others affected by this collision,” Sergeant Eoin Maxwell said.

“Our inquires remain ongoing to establish exactly what happened.

“I would ask anyone who was in the area around the time to contact us with any information, no matter how significant they believe it may be.

“If you have a dashcam, please review your footage as it could prove significant to our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland, quoting the incident number 1497 of January 17.
