A 29-year-old motorcyclist has died after his bike was involved in crash with a car.
On Sunday, a blue Honda CBR motorcycle and a white Volkswagen Touareg crashed on the A97 near Alford, Aberdeenshire.
Emergency services attended the scene but the 29-year-old male motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 28-year-old woman driving the Volkswagen and a 56-year-old female passenger were treated for minor injuries.
The road was closed for 10 hours and 30 minutes, reopening at 2.30am on Monday, Police Scotland said.
Sergeant Sarah Ritchie said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who has died and to all involved in this incident.
“I would like to thank the members of the public that stopped and assisted at the scene before emergency services arrived.
“We are continuing to carry out inquiries and I would like to appeal to anyone who has not already spoken to us and may have witnessed the crash, or the vehicles involved shortly before the incident, to please contact us.
“In addition, anyone with dashcam footage is asked to get in touch as this may be able to assist our investigation.”
