Teen seriously injured after car ploughs into tree in horror A9 crash

Police have appealed for witnesses after a teen was seriously injured in a horror crash on the A9.

The 19-year-old was hurt after his car smashed into a tree on the southbound carriageway near Dunblane at around 7.30am on Saturday December 12.

Emergency services were called after his blue Peugeot left the road near to the Queen Victoria School junction.

The young driver was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where medical staff describe his condition as serious.

Sergeant Jill Kirkpatrick, Road Policing East, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who was driving along the A9 near the QV junction this morning who either saw the crash or who may have any information that will assist our investigation.

“We are particularly keen to view any dashcam footage that drivers may have from the road around this time.

“Please contact Road Policing East via 101, quoting reference number 0876/12 December, 2020 when calling.”

The A9 southbound remains closed while officers carry out enquiries.

Local diversions are in place.
