A nine-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital following a serious crash in Moray.

The three-car accident happened on the A941 between Craigellachie and Dufftown at about 17:30 on Sunday.

The girl was initially taken to hospital in Elgin, before being taken to the town's Cooper Park to be met by a Coastguard rescue helicopter which transferred her to Edinburgh.

Her condition was described as "critical".

Three other people were also taken to hospital with injuries described as non life-threatening.

The A941 at the A95 junction was closed as a result of the accident.

The road fully re-opened at 06:40 on Monday.
