A woman has died in a head-on crash involving a van and a lorry in the Scottish Borders.

A Mercedes Vito van was travelling south on the A1 near Grantshouse when it collided with a red Scania articulated lorry on the opposite carriageway on Sunday at around 3.40pm.

A 20-year-old woman, who was a passenger in the Vito, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The road was partially closed until Monday morning while collision investigations were carried out.

Sergeant Gary Taylor said: "Unfortunately a young woman has lost her life and we are currently working to establish the full set of circumstances that led up to this collision.

"I urge anyone who was travelling on the A1 on Sunday afternoon and who remembers seeing either the Mercedes Vito van or the Scania lorry to please contact police if not already done so."

Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
