A woman has died and three others are in hospital after a crash on the A1.
Emergency services were called to the road near Torness Power Station after a collision involving a Renault Austral and a Land Rover Defender at around 9.05am on Saturday.
The female front seat passenger of the Austral was pronounced dead at the scene, while the male driver and rear passenger were taken to hospital for treatment.
The woman’s next of kin have been informed but police said formal identification is yet to take place.
The male driver of the Defender was also taken to hospital.
Police Scotland urged anyone who witnessed the crash to get in touch.
Sergeant Barry Sommerville of the Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who sadly died.
“Our inquiries are continuing and I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or who may have dashcam footage, and has not yet spoken to or provided this information to officers, to contact us as soon as possible.
“The road reopened at 4.15pm on Saturday March 21. I want to thank members of the public for their patience while we investigated this serious crash.”
Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0753 of March 21.
