Man dies in crash involving car and ambulance which left three others in hospital

A MAN has died in a crash involving a car and an ambulance which left three other people in hospital. 

Police were called to a report of a collision involving a blue Renault Megane and an Ambulance on the A98 at Arradoul near Buckie at around 6.50am on Monday. 

Emergency services attended to a 36-year-old man who was the driver of the car, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Two male paramedics and the male patient from the ambulance were taken to Dr Gray’s Hospital and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Hospital for treatment.  

None of their injuries are thought to be serious. 

The A98 at Arradoul was closed all day to allow investigations to be carried out and remained closed overnight to allow work to be completed by Moray Council.  

The road is expected to be opened fully on Tuesday morning, police said.  

Sergeant Dave Cooper from the Road Policing Unit, Elgin said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died and we continue to carry out enquiries to establish the full circumstances of the crash.

“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash or the vehicles prior to the crash and who hasn’t already spoken to officers to contact us. 

“I would also ask anyone who was in the area and may have dash cam footage which could assist to get in touch.” 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 0516 of 11 August, 2025.
