Teenager airlifted to hospital in 'critical condition' after crash on Scottish road

A TEENAGER is in “critical” condition after being rushed to hospital following a collision on a Scottish road.

Police are appealing for information after a 19-year-old was airlifted to hospital following a crash with a Skoda Yeti car being driven by a 53-year-old woman.

The incident happened at around 1:20pm on Tuesday, August 8, officers said, on the A6105 west of Gordon.

The 19-year-old was riding a black Kawasaki motorbike and was taken by Air Ambulance to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where staff describe his condition as “critical”.

The 53-year-old woman and her male passenger did not require hospital treatment.

Sergeant Dominic Doyle from the Divisional Road Policing Unit said: “I would appeal for any witnesses to the crash, or anyone driving on the road, shortly before the incident, to contact us. I am also keen to hear from any drivers with dash-cam footage that may help assist our enquiries to please get in touch.

“Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting reference number 1708 of 8 August.”
