Cars ‘badly smashed’ after crash on A932 near Forfar

One driver said police were directing traffic around the crash when she passed.

She said: “Traffic was very slow on the approach to the scene of the crash.

“The officers directing traffic said they were waiting for a recovery truck.

“There were two pretty badly smashed cars – one on each side of the road just at the turn-off to Foresterseat Caravan Park.

“I saw an ambulance leaving the scene with blue lights on so really hope no one is too badly hurt.

“The crash seems to have happened on the bad double bends there and at the time the rain in the area was torrential.”
