Two people have been taken to hospital after a collision which caused one car to crash off the road and roll over.

The head-on smash happened on the A96 near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, at around 10.20am on Saturday.

One car was left lying on its side in a field and later had to be recovered using a crane.

The drivers of the cars, a 21-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, were taken to hospital for treatment.

The man, who was driving a blue Vauxhall Astra, reportedly suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The woman behind the wheel of the white Vauxhall Corsa was only slightly injured. There were no passengers in either car.

Police Scotland has appealed to any witnesses to the crash to contact officers.

A spokesman said: "The road has now been cleared and two people have been taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

"Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."
