A Scots man has made a lucky escape after he was airlifted to hospital following a horror crash.

Scott Anderson was rushed to the hospital after he came off his motorbike earlier this month just off the A97.

Paramedics from the town of Buckie raced to the injured biker who was then airlifted to hospital.

His fiance, Georgie - who is also first responder - has praised the ambulance crews who came to Scott's aid following the collision.
