A 52-year-old woman has died after a car and lorry crashed in Aberdeenshire.

Emergency services were called to the A947 Aberdeen to Banff road, north of Oldmeldrum, shortly before 08:00.

Police Scotland said the female driver of the Fiat was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the lorry, a 60-year-old man, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Sgt Sarah Ritchie, appealing for witnesses, said: "Our thoughts are with the families of those involved and I would like to thank of the public who stopped and assisted at the scene.

"Our inquiries into the circumstances are ongoing, however, I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time who may have seen the crash or the two vehicles prior to the incident to get in touch. I would also ask anyone with footage to check it and on any relevant images."

The Scottish Ambulance Service dispatched one ambulance and a special operations team to the scene.
