A 28-YEAR-OLD woman has died in a three-vehicle crash on the A96 in Moray.
The crash happened at around 8.35am this morning between Fochabers and Keith.
A red Audi A3, a white Ford transit van and a grey Peugeot 2008 were all involved in the accident.
The driver and passenger of the van, as well as the driver of the Audi, were taken to hospital by ambulance suffering from minor injuries.
Sergeant Scott Deans, from the north-east road policing unit, said: "The road will remain closed in both directions while our investigations into this incident continue, with local diversions in place.
"I am appealing for any witnesses to the crash, or any drivers with potential dashcam footage, to please come forward and assist our ongoing inquiries."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
