A WOMAN has died and four people, including two children, have been injured in a crash on the A90 in Tayside.
Police said all five people were in a black Nissan Micra which crashed near the village of Errol just after 11am on Friday.
The 32-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car died at the scene of the crash.
The other four occupants, a 29-year-old man, a 20-year-old man, a seven-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, were taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment.
Sergeant William Strachan of Police Scotland’s road policing unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time.
“We are conducting extensive inquiries into the circumstances of this incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage to contact us as soon as possible.
“I would like to thank members of the public for their patience while we carried out our investigation into this serious collision.”
The road was closed for six hours as an investigation took place.
Anyone who witnessed the incident has been asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1349 of August 11.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
