A motorcyclist has died following an accident involving two cars and a motorbike in Perthshire.
The accident happened at around 2.45pm on Thursday on the A93 at Guildtown.
A police spokesperson confirmed a 56-year-old motorcyclist had died following the accident.
“There has been a fatality following the accident at Guildtown,” he said.
“A 56-year-old motorcyclist has died.”
Police, fire and air ambulance crews all attended the scene.
One local resident, who asked not to be named, said the incident had been at a “really bad double bend” and “a terrible bit of road”.
She said: “We weren’t home when the crash happened but by the time we got back, the road was full of police cars and ambulances.
“It’s a horrible bend there and I know a lot of people who have had near misses.”
Another resident said the crash had left neighbouring backroads in a state of “absolute mayhem” and warned other motorists to avoid the area entirely.
Investigators are understood to have worked late into the evening to piece together the circumstances surrounding the crash.
The road remained closed for several hours, with traffic being diverted through St Martins.
A source from Perth and Kinross Council said that while no signed diversion were put in place, officers had directed vehicles.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed two appliances were sent to the scene.
The road re-opened around 6.55pm.
