A pensioner has died at the scene of a horror crash between a car and a lorry on a Scots road.
The 74-year-old, from Aberdeen, was driving a blue Volkswagen T-Roc car when he collided with a white curtain sided HGV on the A90 in Aberdeenshire at around 5.20pm on Tuesday, January 25.
Emergency services raced to the scene at the Tipperty junction near Ellon but the OAP was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Ambulance crews attended and two female passengers in the Volkswagen were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment to their injuries. Their condition is not yet known.
The driver of the HGV was uninjured.
Following the horror incident police are appealing for information.
Sergeant Chris Smith of the North East Road Policing Unit said: "We are appealing for anyone who may have seen either vehicle around the time of the collision or have dashcam footage to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 2472 January 25.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those involved at this time".
At about 10.30pm, officers said the A90 was still closed to southbound traffic at the Tipperty Junction. It has since reopened.
