Bus Incident on A9 Leads to Two Hospitalizations
A collision involving a bus and an embankment occurred on the A9 near Aviemore, resulting in two individuals requiring medical attention. The crash took place around 9:40 on Sunday close to Granish Junction, prompting a coordinated emergency operation. Firefighters, ambulance services, and police were called to the scene, where the vehicle had departed the road. The A9 was temporarily closed for approximately two hours before traffic was restored.
The bus, which was electric, was traveling from Inverness to Edinburgh and operated by the company Ember. Details about the severity of the injuries sustained by the two passengers were not immediately disclosed. Images captured at the site show the turquoise bus partially wedged on a grassy slope alongside the road, with several emergency responders visible at the location.
A representative from Ember stated that one of their fleet vehicles was involved in a single-vehicle collision on 12 April. They expressed gratitude to the emergency services for their prompt assistance and confirmed the company is collaborating fully with police to investigate the incident.
