Two men die in head-on crash after one car drove wrong way on M90 motorway
Drivers pronounced dead at scene
Two men have died in a head-on crash after one car drove the wrong way along a motorway.
The accident happened on the M90 near Kinross on Friday, April 17, at around 10.30pm.
Police said a grey Ford Kuga was seen driving northbound on the southbound carriageway, near junction seven.
It then collided with a white Vauxhall Corsa which was travelling southbound.
The 44-year-old male driver of the Kuga and the 20-year-old male driver of the Corsa suffered fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said their families had been informed.
The southbound M90 was closed for around 16 hours between junctions six and nine to allow emergency services to carry out enquires and it has since reopened. The northbound carriageway was also closed for a short time overnight.
Chief Inspector Lyne Williamson, of Police Scotland’s operational support division, said: “My thoughts are with the families of both the men who died following this tragic incident.
“An investigation is underway to establish the full circumstances of the crash.
“Anyone who was travelling on the M90 at the time and witnessed what happened, or has dashcam footage that could assist our enquiries, is asked to contact officers as soon as possible.”
