Pensioner rushed to hospital with serious injuries after crashing into building on Perthshire dual carriageway

A pensioner was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a road crash near Invergowrie on Saturday.

The 81-year-old was taken to Ninewells Hospital after the red Skoda Yeti he was driving left the A90 and collided with a building.

The incident happened at around 11.05am on Saturday, April 3.

Road policing officers are now appealing for witnesses and information following the incident.

Sergeant Ewan Pearce, from Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, said: “We’re appealing for any motorists who were in the area and saw the incident to please come forward.

“We’re also keen to trace anyone who may have seen the Skoda Yeti prior to the crash or have potential dashcam footage, which may assist our enquiries.

“If you have any information, please contact police on 101, quoting incident 1306 of April 3.”

The incident followed calls for a safety review of the A90 between Perth and Dundee after it was revealed 57 collisions were recorded on that stretch of the road between January 1, 2017, and October 30 last year.

Transport Scotland confirmed last week an audit of the road will take place this summer as part of its annual review.
