Police appeal again for information after serious Scatsta crash

POLICE are continuing to appeal for information following a serious crash near the former Scatsta Airport last month.

A man was taken to hospital in Aberdeen with serious injuries after the crash at around 12.45am on Sunday 12 July on the B9076 road.

The crash involved a white Toyota Hilux, with the 30-year-old man driving the vehicle arrested and released pending further inquiries.

Sergeant Scott MacDonald said: “We know there were other drivers on the road at the same time as this pick-up and continue to appeal to them to come forward.

“Anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicle prior who have not yet spoken to officers are asked to get in touch.

“I would also ask that those with dash-cam footage or private CCTV in the area review this to see if it has captured anything that could assist with our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting incident number 0163 of 12 July 2026.
