Moray MP Douglas Ross has commented after last night’s accident on the A96 in which five people lost their lives and five more were seriously injured.
Commenting Douglas said: “First and foremost my thoughts are with those who lost their lives in this tragic accident and those seriously injured who I know will be receiving the best possible care in hospitals across the north east. I would also like to extend my sympathies to their families and friends at this difficult time.
“This is one of the worst road traffic accidents we’ve seen in Moray for many years and yet again our emergency services have responded in the most professional manner under what must have been extremely challenging circumstances.
“The A96 is a difficult road at the best of times but this is an extremely shocking accident.
“I’ve received an update from the Moray Police divisional commander and I know that the investigation into what happened is already underway.
“The local communities affected need our support at this time and I know the people of Moray will rally round all those impacted by this tragedy.”
